Classes suspended in Metro Manila and Cavite due to Habagat

Some local government units in the Philippines suspended classes on both Wednesday, August 28, and Thursday, August 29, due to inclement weather caused by the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat).

Malacañang Palace approved the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council's recommendation to suspend classes in public schools and work in government agencies within Metro Manila on Wednesday.

The following LGUs suspended classes on Thursday: Cavite province, Bacoor City, Cavite City, Dasmariñas City, General Trias City, Imus City, Kawit, Naic, Noveleta, Tanza, and Trece Martires City, affecting all levels of public and private education.

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) suspended the number coding program for Wednesday due to heavy rains causing floods.

State weather bureau PAGASA forecasts that continuous heavy rains will cause potential flash floods or landslides in various parts of Luzon and other regions such as Visayas, Bicol, Calabarzon, and Pangasinan province.

These measures aim to ensure the safety of students and staff during adverse weather conditions.
