Classes remain suspended across multiple jurisdictions in the Philippine capital region on Saturday, August 29, due to severe weather conditions brought by the southwest monsoon, locally known as the habagat.
The suspension affects both public and private educational institutions in Manila City and Caloocan City, with authorities directing schools to shift to alternative delivery modes for instruction. The decision was made to ensure the safety of students and personnel amid deteriorating weather conditions.
Metro Manila and surrounding areas have been experiencing the effects of the seasonal southwest monsoon, which typically brings heavy rainfall and strong winds during the summer months. Local authorities continue to monitor weather conditions and may issue further advisories regarding class suspensions in other areas.
Schools in affected regions have been instructed to implement remote learning arrangements to maintain educational progress while weather conditions remain unsafe for in-person activities. Administrators have been advised to communicate alternative schedules and learning materials to students and parents.
