The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Friday suspended the number coding scheme in Metro Manila due to heavy rains and flooding spawned by the southwest monsoon or “habagat.”
In an advisory, MMDA said “the number coding scheme is lifted today, July 10, 2015, in all cities and municipality of Metro Manila.”
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), in its latest weather bulletin, said Typhoon “Falcon” (international name: Chan-hom) moved out of the Philippine area of responsibility early Friday, but the country would continue to experience monsoon rain.
