Official Orders and Precautionary Measures

Vice Governor Mark Ronald Lambino ordered the suspension of all classes, both public and private, and government office work. This allows students, teachers, and government personnel to focus on family preparedness, contingency planning, and emergency readiness.

The suspension order follows advice from the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC), led by Governor Ramon Guico III.

Residents of Northern and Central Luzon are urged to remain vigilant and prepare for possible adverse weather effects as Typhoon Uwan approaches.
