Makati City Hall to cut transaction hours June 30 due to quake drill

Business transactions at the Makati City Hall will end early on Monday, June 30, so employees can take part in an earthquake drill.

In a post on its Twitter account, the city government said the business transactions at City Hall will be until 1 p.m. on Monday.

"Earthquake Drill at Makati City Hall on June 30, 2014, business transaction will be until 1:00 PM only," it said.

A separate tweet showed a notice by city administrator Eleno Mendoza showing regular business transactions will resume on Tuesday, July 1.

Last Wednesday, many parts of Metro Manila felt a magnitude-5.7 quake whose epicenter was traced to the Batangas area.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said that while no damage was expected, aftershocks were likely. — Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
