It was announced yesterday that government work was suspended. It was the President himself who gave the order due to Typhoon and transport strike. this is to ensure the safety of the public from the effects of the typhoon and to alleviate the efffects of the scheduled 72-hour transport strike. In view of the forecasted inclement weather brought about by the typhoon and the transport strike in the Metro, work in government offices and classes in public schools were suspended through a memorandum circular and signed by the Executive Secretary. However, there was no hard pouring of rain only gloomy whole day. Anyway, I was able to do a lot of things at work. Photo from online

It might be the beginning of the storm. If not, you're lucky it wasn't worse than that.

I know you don't like the reason, but at the same time it must be good to have a day of work off.

Yes. It is just looking at the bright side of it instead of worrying too much

I guess a lot of people are glad for the day off, but would prefer it under different circumstances.
