Amid heavy rains, number coding lifted in Metro Manila
The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) lifted the number coding scheme in Metro Manila on Wednesday afternoon due to bad weather.
“The Number Coding Scheme is LIFTED as of 1PM today (July 8, 2015) in ALL Metro Manila cities and municipality,” the MMDA said in an advisory on its social media pages.
In an earlier post, MMDA said the operation of the Pasig River Ferry System was also suspended as of 8:30 a.m. “due to zero visibility.”
The metropolis and most parts of the country have been experiencing heavy rains due to the southwest monsoon enhanced by both tropical storm “Egay” and typhoon “Falcon,” the state weather bureau said. YG/IDL
