The Mandaluyong City government suspended classes for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 levels only. 

Among the villages that declared class suspensions in Quezon City were Barangays Holy Spirit, Bagong Silangan, Payatas, Greater Lagro, Apolonio Samson, Kaligayahan, New Era, Kamuning, Balumbato, Roxas, Kaunalran, San Roque, Sauyo, Commonwealth, Sacred Heart, Pasong Tamo, Old Balara, North Fairview, Pinagkaisahan, Bagumbuhay, Obrero, San Bartolome, San Jose, Horseshoe, Bagbag, Cuiat, Tatalon, Milagrosa, Tilapapa, Baesa, Talayan, Bayanihan, Santol, Galas, Pansol, Amihan, E.
