Palace suspends classes, gov’t work in Metro Manila, other Luzon areas due to habagat
Classes and government work in Metro Manila and several other Luzon areas were suspended on Monday, July 21, 2025, due to heavy rains brought by the southwest monsoon or 'habagat'.
The Palace announced the suspension through Memorandum Circular 88, which took effect at 1:00 PM for Metro Manila, Cavite, Rizal, Batangas, Laguna, Bulacan, Pampanga, Zambales, and Bataan.
While there is no longer a cyclone in the Philippine area of responsibility, the habagat is prevailing across the country.
Government agencies involved in basic and health services, as well as disaster prevention, will continue their operations.
The suspension of work for private companies and offices is left to the discretion of their respective heads.
A low-pressure area is currently hovering outside the Philippine area of responsibility and has a medium chance of intensifying into a cyclone.
