The Palace also suspended all classes, both public and private, on November 10 and 11 in the following regions:

Agencies responsible for essential services, including emergency response and disaster preparedness, are required to remain operational despite the suspension.
"To further ensure continuity of essential government functions, all other government agencies in the aforementioned Regions may implement alternate work arrangements, as may be necessary, subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations," the order read.
"The localized cancellation or suspension of classes and/or work in government offices in other regions may be implemented by their respective Local Chief Executives, pursuant to relevant laws, rules and regulations," it added.
Private companies and offices may decide on work suspensions at the discretion of their management, the Palace said.
As of 5 a.m. on Sunday, Uwan has further intensified into a super typhoon, battering Catanduanes and nearby areas with life-threatening winds and coastal flooding, as PAGASA raised the highest wind signal over parts of Luzon.
The super typhoon is moving west-northwest and may pass near Catanduanes on Sunday morning, with possible landfall over Aurora tonight or early Monday.
