Classes suspended due to heavy rains, July 3-4

Classes have been cancelled or modified on Thursday, July 3, and will continue to be suspended in several regions due to heavy rains caused by a Low Pressure Area (LPA) and southwest monsoon.

The cancellations affected areas such as Aparri, Camalaniugan, Gonzaga, Santa Teresita, Santo Niño in Cagayan, Bacnotan and Pandi in Bulacan, Cavite City, Las Piñas, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Manila (starting at noon), Marikina, Muntinlupa (afternoon classes starting at noon), Parañaque, Pasay (afternoon classes), Quezon City (afternoon classes starting at noon), San Pedro in Laguna, and Valenzuela City.

For Friday, July 4, several local government units have cancelled classes for all levels in Cavite province, Bataan, Abra, Sudipen in La Union, Ilocos Sur, Manaoag, Pozorrubio, Umingan in Pangasinan, Candaba and Masantol in Pampanga, and La Paz in Tarlac.

Local government units have also suspended face-to-face classes for specific levels in some areas such as Bauang in La Union, Macabebe in Pampanga, and Dagupan City.

PAGASA is monitoring the LPA near Batanes, which has a higher chance of turning into a tropical depression named 'Bising' and will bring scattered rains over northern portions of Ilocos Region, Cordillera, and Cagayan Valley.

Students and parents are advised to check with their respective schools for specific instructions regarding class schedules.
