Class Suspensions Across Philippines Due to Heavy Rain, September 11, 2026

Several areas in the Philippines suspended classes on Friday, September 11, 2026, as the southwest monsoon, locally known as "habagat," continued to bring heavy rains to parts of Luzon. Local and national authorities announced the class suspensions to ensure the safety of students and educators amidst the adverse weather conditions. In Metro Manila, face-to-face classes at all levels, both public and private, were suspended in Caloocan City, Malabon City, Navotas City, Quezon City, and Valenzuela City. This measure affects a significant number of students who are advised to stay home and prioritize their safety. In Central Luzon, various areas also declared class suspensions. These include Abucay, Limay, and Morong in Bataan; Calumpit in Bulacan; Mexico, Minalin, San Fernando City (select schools until September 12), San Simon (except Concepcion Integrated School), and Santo Tomas (until September 12) in Pampanga; and Olongapo City. All levels of face-to-face classes were suspended in these localities. The Ilocos Region also saw class suspensions, particularly in Pangasinan province. Aguilar, Bayambang, Calasiao, Mangatarem, and Dagupan City were among the areas that canceled in-person classes at all levels. These suspensions are a precautionary measure against potential hazards such as flooding, landslides, and transportation disruptions caused by the continuous rainfall. Authorities are monitoring the weather situation closely and will provide further updates as necessary. Such weather-related disruptions are common during the Philippines' rainy season, significantly impacting daily life, especially in vulnerable communities.
