In the Manila metropolitan area, government offices have closed due to torrential rain and heavy flooding over the past few days. As a result, clients with interests in the Philippines should expect delays in immigration processing, as the offices have suspended work today. It is not yet known when the offices will reopen, but storms are forecast to continue for the next several days. BAL will provide updates as they become available.
