MMDA urges malls to open parking spaces to public due to Typhoon Inday

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) issued a memorandum order on July 9, 2026, urging shopping mall operators across Luzon to open their parking spaces to the public during the anticipated impact of Typhoon Inday. The directive, effective from Thursday evening until the typhoon passed, aimed to provide temporary safe parking for vehicles affected by strong winds and heavy rainfall. The MMDA listed several malls, including SM Supermalls, Robinsons Malls, and Festival Mall, which offered free overnight parking. Motorists were advised to follow each mall's parking guidelines and check official updates. Meanwhile, Pagasa reported that Inday had slightly weakened as it moved northwestward over the Philippine Sea, with TCWS No. 2 raised in Batanes and other northern Luzon regions.
