Classes Suspended in Zambales Due to Persistent Rains from Tropical Depression

Classes at all levels will remain suspended in several parts of Zambales on Friday, Aug. 7, as the effects of Tropical Depression Maymay (international name: Kujira) and the enhanced southwest monsoon continue to bring heavy rains to the province. Several local government units announced the suspension of classes on Thursday night. This measure prioritizes the safety of residents, considering the risks of flooding and landslides due to the intense rainfall. In the Philippines, the rainy season frequently brings disruptions such as class suspensions and infrastructure damage due to tropical depressions and monsoons. Coastal and low-lying areas are particularly susceptible to the direct impact of worsening weather conditions on daily life. This class suspension aims to ensure the safety of students and faculty, with local authorities monitoring the situation closely and making decisions on resuming classes once safety is assured.
