Quezon City and Regional Suspensions
In Quezon City, the Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (QCDRRMC) recommended the suspension of face-to-face classes for both public and private schools. The measure was prompted by expected heavy rainfall forecast to reach between 50 and 100 millimeters. Expanding on the local action, the Palasyo suspended government offices and classes at all levels across Metro Manila and 16 surrounding provinces. The sweeping cancellations cover both public and private institutions as authorities monitor the intensifying monsoon weather system.
