Class Suspensions Confirmed for September 27 Across Regions
September 27, 2025, will see an expansive suspension of classes across Metro Manila and 26 provinces due to the anticipated impact of Severe Tropical Storm Opong (locally known as Bualoi). The government's proactive decision to suspend classes aims to safeguard students, faculty, and school personnel amid forecasts of heavy rains and strong winds.
Areas Affected by Class Suspensions
Based on the latest updates issued by Malacañang, face-to-face classes will remain suspended in:
- Metro Manila: Including cities such as Manila, Marikina, and Parañaque.
- Calabarzon: Notably, Cavite, Rizal, and San Mateo, which are significantly impacted.
- Central Luzon: Specific locales like Santa Maria in Bulacan are also included.
This measure is taken seriously as the storm presents a genuine threat to public safety, particularly in coastal and mountainous areas that are more susceptible to severe weather conditions.
Understanding Severe Tropical Storm Opong
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has reported that Opong maintains its strength while traversing the Philippine Sea. As of now, areas under Wind Signal No. 3 can expect moderate to significant impacts from storm-force winds, raising the need for vigilance among residents in these zones.
Taking Precautions During Severe Weather
As we brace against the elements with Opong approaching, it's essential to stay informed and prepared. Ensure that emergency kits are stocked, and follow local advisories for any updates regarding weather conditions and safety measures. This not only helps safeguard individuals but reinforces community resilience during natural calamities.
