Palace: No government work suspension for Wednesday yet
Wednesday, September 28, 2011
MALACAÑANG refused to make an early declaration of suspension of government work for Wednesday.
Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said in a press briefing Tuesday the suspension of work in government offices will be done “on a day to day basis” depending on the weather status.
Several government employees expressed dismay over the late declaration of work suspension by Malacañang Tuesday in the wake of Typhoon “Pedring” (international codename: Nesat).

Lacierda explained they still had to wait for the recommendation of various agencies before making announcement with regard to work suspension.
“We were waiting for the recommendation from Pagasa and the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC). We’re able to inform Secretary (Pacquito) Ochoa and the other members, of the status of the storm, especially affecting NCR (National Capital Region). There was a bit of confusion, so we had to confirm with Usec. (Graciano) Yumul. And as soon we were able to confirm all the affected areas in NCR, were able to declare it,” he said.
Pagasa or the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services, the country’s weather center, is headed by Yumul.
Lacierda said that concerned agencies were on their toes in warning the public regarding the storm. “We ask for pardon if it was a bit late, but I think we were able to prevent a number of government employees also from leaving.”
Lacierda, meanwhile, said suspension of classes for Wednesday will also depend on the development of the typhoon.
He advised the public to wait for the assessment of Undersecretary Yumul on the status of Typhoon Pedring.
Meantime, Malacañang assured that President Benigno Aquino III is in constant communication with his officials regarding Pedring and the situation in the country.
In a statement issued from Japan Tuesday, the President said he ordered all agencies concerned to mitigate the effects of the storm, which has greatly affected the Luzon region including Metro Manila.
The President is directly given updates by Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman, Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin and Energy Secretary Rene Almendras.
“I have been in touch with Secretaries Soliman, Gazmin, and Almendras. I have instructed the Executive Secretary to compile information from NDRMMC and to inform our people of conditions as well as of government efforts to mitigate the effects of the storm,” the President said in the statement.
He said Secretary Soliman reported to him two casualties in Maguindanao where there is severe flooding.
As people in the impoverished region refused to evacuate despite the flooding, Aquino said the Department of Social Welfare and Development will provide them relief goods.
In Camarines Sur and Albay provinces, the President was assured by officials that preventive evacuations are ongoing.
The President said Secretary Almendras informed him that 37 percent of Meralco service area is without power due to tripping caused by high winds.
He assured that Meralco is working on restoring power to affected areas as the winds abated.
“In Aurora and Isabela, we are awaiting the passage of the storm to restore service,” he said.
The President is also updated about the status of the water level in Marikina. “The water level is not yet in the critical level but there are ongoing voluntary evacuations.”
“I am in constant touch with these members of my cabinet and the Executive Secretary has been instructed to keep me and the public informed of conditions pertaining as well as mitigation efforts,” he said.
President Aquino is currently in Japan for a four-day official working visit.
He is scheduled to return in the country Wednesday.
Lacierda said the President will be given further updates about the weather to know whether or not it is safe for him to travel. (Jill Beltran/Sunnex)
