Several local government units (LGUs) have declared class and work suspensions for Wednesday, November 12, 2025, due to the lingering effects of Super Typhoon Uwan (international name: Fung Wong), which left widespread flooding, road blockages, and power outages across multiple provinces.
In Nueva Vizcaya, Governor Jose Gambito announced through an official Facebook post on Tuesday that classes in all levels—both public and private—are suspended throughout the province. The decision comes after numerous major roads remain impassable, and several communities are still isolated due to landslides and debris brought by the typhoon.
Work in local government offices has also been suspended to allow families and responders time to recover from the aftermath of Uwan. “However, all government employees working in finance offices may report to work or be on call, subject to applicable laws, rules, and regulations,” Gambito said. The governor added that the decision for private offices and companies would be left to the discretion of their respective management.
Meanwhile, in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, Mayor Maila Ting-Que likewise declared a suspension of classes in all levels—including Law, Medicine, and Graduate Studies—both for face-to-face and online sessions. Work in all government offices within the city is also suspended for the day to ensure public safety and facilitate post-typhoon recovery operations.
However, Mayor Ting-Que clarified that frontliners and personnel from agencies involved in disaster response, health care, and essential services must continue their duties. “We leave the decision to the management of private institutions regarding work suspension, but the safety and well-being of employees must always be prioritized,” she stated.
In Negros Occidental, the municipality of Hinigaran announced that face-to-face classes in all levels will be suspended from Wednesday, November 12, until Friday, November 14. Mayor Mary Grace Arceo encouraged schools to adopt alternative learning methods, such as modular instruction, to prevent disruption in academic schedules.
Similarly, Negros Occidental High School (NOHS) has suspended its face-to-face classes on November 12 due to ongoing power outages and limited water supply. The school has shifted to an “Emergency Learning Kit” setup to ensure students can continue their studies despite the challenges.
Authorities have urged residents in affected areas to remain alert for further advisories as cleanup and restoration efforts continue.
