When are classes suspended?
Always remember that PAGASA Storm Warning Signals first determine class suspensions. However, local government can announce additional suspension as necessary. For example, if the city is under storm signal #1, then automatic suspension is declared for Preschools. But if continued rains pursue and flooding occurs, the city mayor may declare suspension for other school levels as well. We always hope, of course, that our local officials make the declaration early.
Current state of Typhoon Labuyo
According to PAGASA, typhoon Labuyo (International Code Name: Utor) intensified further as it continues to move closer to Southern Isabela-Northern Aurora Area. Storm signal warnings have been set.
