Earlier, the operations of Metro Rail Transit Line 3, Light Rail Transit Line 2, and LRT Line 1 have also been suspended since PAGASA raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 4 over Metro Manila on Sunday morning.

State weather bureau PAGASA earlier said Rolly will move toward the Marinduque-Southern Quezon area in the afternoon. Then, it will traverse the Batangas-Cavite area through the evening.

The typhoon will leave the mainland Luzon landmass and emerge over the Philippine Sea between Sunday afternoon and Monday early morning.

Earlier, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said between 19 to 31 million people could be affected by Rolly.—AOL, GMA News
