Heavy rainfall from the southwest monsoon, locally known as Habagat, is impacting Luzon, including Metro Manila. The continuous downpour has resulted in widespread flooding across several areas, disrupting daily life. Local governments and the presidential palace have responded by suspending classes and implementing alternative work arrangements for both the public and private sectors. The state weather bureau forecasts continued heavy rainfall in Metro Manila and surrounding provinces. Residents are advised to remain vigilant and prepare for further disruptions. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and coordinating response efforts to mitigate the impact of the flooding. The Habagat is expected to persist, potentially worsening conditions in affected regions.
