ANN/THE INQUIRER – Classes in all levels both public and private in Metro Manila are suspended amid the effects of Tropical Storm Enteng (Yagi), said the Palace on Monday.
According to the Presidential Communications Office (PCO), it was the Office of the Executive Secretary who declared the suspension of classes.
“In view of the inclement weather brought about by Tropical Storm Enteng, classes in public and private schools at all levels within the National Capital Region on 02 September 2024 are hereby suspended,” the PCO said in a statement.
Several local governments in Metro Manila already suspended its classes even before the Palace declaration.
It was 11pm on Sunday when the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported that Enteng has strengthened into a tropical storm.
As of 3am, Enteng was last spotted moving over the coastal waters of Vinzons, Camarines Norte at 10 kilometers per hour (km/h) west northwestward.
It carried maximum sustained winds of 75 km/h and gustiness of up to 90 km/h.
Despite the heavy rains in Metro Manila, no tropical cyclone signal warning is currently raised in the region.
