MANILA, Philippines — Manila Mayor Isko Moreno announced the suspension of face-to-face classes from preschool to senior high school on Friday due to the expected heavy rainfall.
In a Facebook post, Moreno said the cancellation was recommended by the Manila City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department (MCDRRMD) after it reported moderate to heavy rainfall of 50 to 100 millimeters, with conditions expected to persist throughout the day.
He said schools were advised to shift to alternative delivery mode.
The state weather bureau reported that while typhoon ‘Inday’ has weakened, it has significantly enhanced the southwest monsoon or locally known as “Habagat.”
