LGUs suspend or adjust class schedules due to Typhoon Bising, southwest monsoon

Several local government units in the Philippines have suspended or adjusted class schedules on Monday, July 7, and extended these measures into Wednesday, July 9, due to inclement weather caused by the southwest monsoon and Typhoon Bising.

The affected areas include entire provinces like Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte, specific municipalities such as Malabon City in Metro Manila, Basista and Sual in Pangasinan, Lingayen in Pangasinan, Masantol in Pampanga, Bauang in La Union, and additional regions like Cavite, Batangas, and Laguna.

As of Sunday night, Typhoon Bising slightly weakened but re-entered the Philippine area of responsibility after making landfall in Taiwan's southwestern portion.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) forecasts that strong to gale-force gusts will continue to affect various regions until Wednesday due to the southwest monsoon.

Schools are advised to shift to modular distance learning where necessary to ensure the safety of students and staff during this period.
