Heavy Rainfall Advisory

Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro may experience 50–100 mm of rainfall due to the Southwest Monsoon from today through August 13.

PAGASA warned that rainfall could be higher in mountainous and elevated areas, with impacts potentially worsened by significant rainfall already received in some areas.

Automatic Class Suspensions

The Department of Education (DepEd) has issued new guidelines under DepEd Order No. 14, s. 2026, empowering school heads to coordinate with Schools Division Superintendents and Local Government Units in determining CLASS SUSPENSIONS based on actual conditions in their communities.

The new policy allows for granular class suspensions, ensuring that only affected classrooms or grade levels are suspended when necessary, instead of imposing division-wide cancellations. The measure also provides guidance on selecting appropriate learning delivery modes before, during and after emergencies to help maintain continuity of education.
