LOOK: Flooding outside Senate
Senate work was partially suspended on July 22 due to heavy rains caused by the southwest monsoon.
Senate President Francis Escudero issued the order for the suspension.
This suspension was prompted by gutter-deep flooding outside the Senate building in Pasay City.
Only essential personnel involved in preparations for the Senate's inaugural session of the 20th Congress and a Joint Session of Congress on July 28 were required to report for work.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) warned of heavy monsoon rain in Metro Manila and surrounding provinces.
Employees who worked during the suspension were granted compensatory time off.
