The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) suspended the implementation of the expanded number coding scheme on Wednesday following the suspension of classes and government work in the National Capital Region (NCR).
“Suspendido na ang pagpapatupad ng Expanded Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) ngayong araw, AGOSTO 28, kasunod ng anunsiyo ng Malacañang na walang pasok sa government offices at pasok sa lahat ng antas ng pampublikong paaralan sa Metro Manila dahil sa patuloy na pag-ulan na dulot ng Southwest Monsoon,” the MMDA said on Facebook.
The class and work suspension in NCR was recommended by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
According to the NDRRMC, the suspension “will prevent any untoward incidents and will ensure the safety of the general public.”
Work and class suspension in private companies and schools, meanwhile, will be upon the discretion of their respective heads, the NDRRMC said. —Joviland Rita/KBK, GMA Integrated News
