INTERIOR and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla has pledged to announce the suspension of government work and classes a day ahead of a typhoon’s arrival.

This comes after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. authorized the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to make such announcements amid incoming weather disturbances.

Remulla emphasized that he would follow through with this approach as DILG chief in compliance with the President’s directive.

“When I was governor of Cavite, I was always a day ahead,” Remulla said.

The DILG is authorized to announce the suspension if the Office of the President has not yet made an official declaration.
