The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced the suspension of the implementation of the number coding scheme on Monday, November 10 due to Typhoon Uwan (international name: Fung-wong).
‘The implementation of the expanded number coding scheme is suspended tomorrow, November 10, 2025, due to the threat of Typhoon Uwan,’ the MMDA said in a Facebook advisory on Sunday.
Normally, the number coding scheme is in effect during rush hours, or from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Metro Manila remains under yellow rainfall warning, indicating that flooding is possible in flood-prone areas, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
As of 5:00 a.m., Pagasa said Metro Manila remains under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2.
Uwan weakened as it crossed Luzon’s landmass while moving west-northwest at 25 kilometers per hour (kph), packing maximum sustained winds of 150 kph and gustiness of 230 kph, according to state meteorologists.
Two deaths and two injuries were reported due to Uwan, said the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
