Four municipalities in northern Zambales suspended all face-to-face classes Monday as intensified southwest monsoon conditions brought moderate to heavy rainfall, lightning strikes, and strong winds across the region.
The suspension covered all educational levels in public and private schools. In Masinloc and Palauig, the class cancellations also extended to teaching and non-teaching personnel, disrupting normal school operations beyond classroom activities.
Local authorities implemented the precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students and school staff during the hazardous weather conditions. The decision reflected growing concern over the enhanced monsoon system affecting the province's northern communities.
The suspension underscores the challenges posed by seasonal weather patterns in the region, with schools regularly adjusting schedules to protect populations from severe meteorological events. School officials have not yet announced when normal operations would resume.
