Manila HEIs suspend classes due to inclement weather

Several Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Metro Manila suspended classes on Thursday, July 13, due to inclement weather.

UP Manila suspended classes and work starting at 2:00 PM on July 13, citing the Office of the Chancellor.

Mapua University (Makati campuses) and Colegio de San Juan de Letrán also announced class suspensions effective at 4:00 PM.

These suspensions were precautionary measures due to persistent heavy rains and potential commuting challenges.

PAGASA previously warned that Metro Manila was among the areas expected to experience heavy rainfall on July 13.

The inclement weather is attributed to the enhanced southwest monsoon (habagat) and a low-pressure area (LPA) east-northeast of Infanta, Quezon.

Floods and rain-induced landslides are possible in high-risk locations due to these circumstances.
