MANILA — Schools across portions of Luzon suspended face-to-face classes on Wednesday, September 9, as the southwest monsoon system maintained its grip on the archipelago's largest island. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration warned that the seasonal weather pattern would continue delivering heavy rainfall throughout the day. Pampanga province was among the areas implementing class cancellations as a precautionary measure. Educational officials in affected regions advised parents and students to monitor further announcements regarding the resumption of in-person instruction. The monsoon system has persisted since Tuesday, September 8, prompting regional authorities to issue weather advisories across Luzon and portions of the Visayas.
