WALANG PASOK: Class suspensions on Sept. 7, 8

Schools in Valenzuela City and Laguna province suspended afternoon classes on September 7 due to heavy rains caused by the southwest monsoon, known as Habagat. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration issued a Yellow Rainfall Warning for Valenzuela City, prompting the closure. Similarly, Laguna Governor Sol Aragones ordered the suspension of afternoon classes across the province after the same warning was issued. In Pampanga, both school and government operations were suspended to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the pontifical coronation of Virgen de los Remedios.

Valenzuela City suspended afternoon classes on Monday, September 7, 2026, due to heavy rains caused by the southwest monsoon, or Habagat. The decision was announced via Facebook at 2 p.m., following the city's placement under a Yellow Rainfall Warning by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration. Similar measures were taken in Laguna, where Governor Sol Aragones ordered the suspension of afternoon classes across all levels of public and private schools. The province was placed under a Yellow Heavy Rainfall Warning, prompting Aragones to issue an advisory stating that classes would be suspended from 1:00 p.m. onward. She urged residents to remain safe and noted that alternative learning modes would be used. In Pampanga, classes at all levels, along with government office operations, were suspended for the day in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the pontifical coronation of Virgen de los Remedios. This suspension did not relate to weather conditions but coincided with the ongoing influence of the Habagat, which continued to affect parts of Luzon and the Visayas. The Habagat brought moderate to heavy rainfall, with forecasts indicating up to 15 millimeters of rain per hour in some areas. Flooding risks were highlighted, especially in low-lying regions. Meanwhile, over 8,000 residents in Pampanga impacted by the storm received assistance from the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
