MMDA IT personnel will also answer back most of the queries but let's not flood MMDA's twitter account with traffic inquiries. Here's a shortcut for the MMDA's Metro Manila Traffic Navigator. If it's not there or if the site is not updated, send them a tweet @mmda

Do you bring your umbrella out or not? Will it be a good time to have your car washed or not? Most importantly, will there be classes or not?
