Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros cancel classes due to heavy rains

Muntinlupa, Taguig, and Pateros suspended classes for September 4 due to anticipated heavy rains from the enhanced southwest monsoon.

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon declared the suspension citing existing guidelines and PAGASA's orange rainfall warning for Metro Manila.

The Taguig City government also announced the suspension based on PAGASA's forecast of continued rains.

Classes in Muntinlupa were again suspended for September 6, marking the fifth straight day of no face-to-face classes, initially due to Tropical Storm Enteng and subsequently due to the enhanced habagat.

Mayor Biazon announced the September 6 suspension on September 5 after consulting with the Schools Division Office-Muntinlupa, advising schools to shift to distance learning.

He cited a yellow rainfall warning for Metro Manila issued on September 5, noting the continued threat of heavy rains and possible flooding.
