In a text message to Rappler, Honey Reyes, assistant vice president for public relations and external communications at BDO Unibank Incorporated, said the bank will shorten operations of affected branches in Greater Metro Manila.
"Non mall-based or regular branches will close at 3 pm while mall branches will operate until 4 pm," Reyes said.
She said unaffected branches in Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao, on the other hand, will have normal banking hours. BDO ATMs and electronic channels are also operational. – Rappler.com
