CITY OF ILAGAN — Isabela Governor Faustino Dy III has suspended classes in all levels in both public and private schools from Monday to Wednesday, media consultant Romeo Santos told the Philippine News Agency on Monday.
Work in government and private offices would also be halted on Tuesday and Wednesday, he added.
The provincial capitol, though, had a half-day suspension of work on Monday while response teams and frontliners would be on standby at the command center, he added.
“The cancellation would ensure safety of schoolers and workers and that they could prepare their houses and families into safety,” he said.
In Cagayan, Governor Manuel Mamba also ordered the cancellation of classes in all public and private schools starting Monday while work in government and private offices would be cancelled on Tuesday to allow them to prepare for the safety of their families.
Only frontline agencies on rescue and health, among others, would be on standby for typhoon response, he added.
A liquor ban was also hoisted since last night. Senior Supt. Warren Tolito, Cagayan police director, said they will immediately arrest violators of the liquor ban. (Villamor Visaya, Jr./PNA)
