#WalangPasok: Class suspensions on Monday, July 29

MANILA, Philippines — Class suspensions were imposed in Pasig City and some areas outside Metro Manila for Monday (July 29) due to the damage brought by typhoon Carina (international name: Gaemi) and the southwest monsoon, locally called habagat.

“The suspension of classes is meant to give way to the ongoing clearing operations and to give students and their families more time to recover from the onslaught of Hanging Habagat, intensified by Typhoon Carina the past days,” the Pasig City Public Information Office said in a Facebook post on Sunday evening.

Below is the list of other areas that have called off classes at all levels, both public and private schools:

La Union

Of the affected people, 1,069,354 were displaced, with 168,933 staying inside 1,025 evacuation centers nationwide and 900,421 taking shelter elsewhere.

Carina exited the country’s area of responsibility last July 25, but its damage prompted the national government to place the National Capital Region and other Luzon areas under a state of calamity.
