Classes in Eastern Metro Manila cities remain suspended on October 24
The local governments of Pasig, Mandaluyong, and San Juan announced the suspension of classes at all levels in both public and private schools in their cities due to the expected heavy rainfall that will be brought by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine in Metro Manila on Thursday, October 24.
The city mayors ordered the suspension as Metro Manila is still under Signal No. 2 as of Wednesday evening, October 23, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Marikina City Mayor Marcy Teodoro also suspended classes for tomorrow earlier this afternoon.
Residents were urged to stay updated and remain at home for their safety.
As part of the cities’ preparation, they have deployed rescue boats in strategic and low-lying areas and distributed modular tents to their respective barangays in case of evacuation.
