Zambales suspends afternoon classes as heavy rains persist

Afternoon face-to-face classes were suspended Monday in seven towns across Zambales province and nearby Olongapo City due to sustained heavy rainfall, local government officials announced. The suspensions affected all levels of instruction in both public and private educational institutions across the affected areas.

The suspended classes covered the towns of Subic, Castillejos, San Antonio, Cabangan, Botolan, Iba, and Palauig, according to local government directives. Officials did not specify whether morning classes would proceed as scheduled or if the weather-related suspension would extend into subsequent days.

The decision to suspend afternoon sessions reflected ongoing concerns over weather conditions and potential hazards to students and staff traveling through affected communities. Residents in the region have been advised to monitor official announcements for updates regarding the resumption of normal school operations.
