The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority suspended Wednesday the expanded number coding scheme after Malacanang suspended classes and government work in the National Capital Region.

The Palace earlier said classes in all levels and work in government offices in Luzon are suspended on Wednesday, October 23, due to the inclement weather brought by tropical storm Kristine.

Suspension of work for private companies and offices is left to the discretion of their respective heads.

Agencies whose function involve delivery of basic and health services, as well as disaster response and preparedness, shall continue with their operations.
