MANILA — The House of Representatives will not suspend committee hearings and plenary session on Tuesday, September 3, citing the need to “continue essential legislative work” in the face of tropical storm Enteng.

“Plenary session and all Committee hearings in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, will proceed as scheduled. Only personnel directly involved in these activities are required to report for work and continue with their respective tasks,” House Secretary General Reginald Velasco said in an advisory.

“We encourage all other employees to remain at home and prioritize their safety. Those who may encounter difficulties in reporting due to the inclement weather or have been gravely affected by the floods are also excused from their duties,” he added.

“For any clarifications, please coordinate with your respective department or office heads. Please stay safe, dry and comfortable,” Velasco noted.
