Palace: College classes suspended in NCR

Executive Secretary Jojo Ochoa on Tuesday said college classes in the National Capital Region (NCR) have been suspended for Wednesday as recommended by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) amid the heavy rains expected from Tropical Storm Juaning. The announcement was first made through presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda's Twitter account. Lacierda tweeted: "Upon the recommendation of NDRRMC, Executive Secretary Jojo Ochoa has declared the suspension at the tertiary level in NCR." A few minutes later, @govph announced the same thing on Twitter. The Department of Education has also announced the suspension of pre-school to high school classes in NCR and other parts of Luzon. — BC/PE/VS, GMA News
