Senate work suspended due to Tropical Storm Enteng

Due to Tropical Storm Enteng causing bad weather, work at the Senate in Manila has been suspended and will resume on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at 3:00 p.m., as ordered by Senate President Francis Escudero.

Senate Secretary Renato Bantug Jr. issued an advisory confirming the suspension of work today, with Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 in effect for Metro Manila.

As of Monday morning, Tropical Storm Enteng was located about 100 kilometers north-northwest of Daet, Camarines Norte, with maximum sustained winds of 75 kph and gusts up to 90 kph.

Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2 was raised over nine areas in Luzon as the storm is forecast to move northwestward, potentially making landfall over Isabela or Cagayan on Monday afternoon or evening.

Metro Manila remains under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 and the state weather bureau noted that if the forecast track shifts further west, a landfall over the northern portion of Aurora cannot be ruled out.
