Due to the heavy rain, classes were suspended in several cities and provinces for Tuesday.

Malacañang also suspended work in government offices in Metro Manila, Calabarzon, and Central Luzon. The Supreme Court suspended work in courts in the same 3 regions as well, while there will be no trading at the Philippine Stock Exchange.

The tropical depression slightly intensified ahead of its landfall, and now has maximum winds of 60 km/h and gustiness of up to 80 km/h.
