He stated clearly in his twitter, “Upon the recommendation of NDRRMC, E S Ochoa has declared the suspension of college classes and government work in NCR effective 1 p.m.”

Though some of the colleges and universities have already made their suspension this Tuesday morning, it’s a good thing to know that the suspension was made general through out NCR.
