It's task is to ensure that before 4 a.m., there's already an announcement on class and work suspension.)

Chavez took his oath before President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. today, September 5.

Earlier, Marcos said he tasked concerned government agencies to ensure that early advisories would be given as to the suspension of classes and work due to bad weather.

The President said he wants the public to know if work and classes would be canceled the following day before they go to sleep at night so they could make the necessary adjustments. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
