Pasig LGU suspends in-person classes on July 21 due to bad weather

Published Jul 21, 2025 09:38 am
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) raised a yellow rainfall warning over Metro Manila on Monday morning, July 21, prompting the automatic suspension of in-person classes in Pasig City.
The yellow warning was raised in PAGASA’s 8 a.m. heavy rainfall bulletin, triggering the suspension of classes from kindergarten to senior high school, early childhood care and development (ECCD), and the alternative learning system (ALS) in both public and private schools, in accordance with Executive Order No. PCG-48, s. 2024.
The local government reminded Pasigueños that in-person classes under K–12, ECCD, and ALS are automatically suspended when a yellow rainfall warning is raised in Metro Manila.
Schools are expected to follow their respective protocols in sending students home if they are already in school when the suspension is announced. Affected schools will shift to modular or online learning in place of in-person classes.
College classes
As of 10:45 a.m., PAGASA raised the orange rainfall warning over Metro Manila, prompting the local government to also suspend afternoon classes in both public and private colleges and universities in the city.
The orange warning indicates intense rainfall that may lead to flooding. Residents are advised to stay safe and monitor official advisories.
In 2024, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto reminded students and school personnel not to wait for a local announcement of class suspension when Signal No. 1 or higher has already been raised in Metro Manila, as this automatically means that classes in all levels are suspended in the city.
Sotto explained the existing Executive Order No. PCG-48, series of 2024, which localizes the Department of Education (DepEd) Order No. 37, series of 2022.
EO No. 37 mandates that classes and work in schools are cancelled or suspended during a typhoon, heavy rainfall, flood, earthquake, and power interruptions/brownouts.
During a typhoon, DepEd said that in-person and online classes and work from kindergarten to grades 12 and the Alternative Learning System (ALS) in all levels are “automatically cancelled” in schools situated in local government units (LGUs) issued with Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals (TCWS) 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 by PAGASA.
The mayor added that if a typhoon or heavy rainfall occurs but no red or orange rainfall warning is issued, school principals have the authority to cancel or suspend classes in their jurisdiction if they deem the conditions unsafe for students and staff.
He emphasized that red and orange rainfall warnings signify that classes in all levels are automatically suspended, while yellow rainfall warnings only cover classes under K-12 (early childhood care and development (ECCD) and kindergarten to grade 12).
Aside from the announcements from the official Facebook page of the Pasig City Public Information Office and the Pasig City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, he also urged the public to refer to the weather advisories posted on PAGASA’s bulletin, “as they are sufficient enough to merit class suspension.”
