Several provinces in Luzon have announced class suspensions for Wednesday, September 24, 2025, as communities continue to deal with the aftermath of Super Typhoon Nando. The storm, which lashed Northern and Central Luzon with heavy rains and strong winds, left widespread flooding, road blockages, and power interruptions, prompting local governments to suspend face-to-face learning for safety.
Central Luzon
In Bataan, all municipalities declared a suspension of classes across all levels in both public and private schools. The decision was made after reports of rising floodwaters in low-lying areas and accessibility concerns.
In Bulacan, the municipality of Calumpit suspended classes at all levels due to persistent flooding.
Meanwhile, Pampanga issued widespread suspensions covering the City of San Fernando, Masantol, Sasmuan, Arayat, Bacolor, and Macabebe. These areas have reported swollen rivers and flooded barangays, disrupting transportation and posing hazards to students and teachers.
Ilocos Region
In Ilocos Norte, all municipalities suspended classes at all levels, reflecting the region’s extensive exposure to heavy rainfall and flooding.
In Pangasinan, numerous cities and municipalities implemented suspensions. Alaminos City, Dagupan City, Bautista, Bayambang, Binmaley, Calasiao, Lingayen, Malasiqui, Mangatarem, Mapandan, Pozorrubio, Rosales, San Carlos City, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and Sual canceled classes across all levels.
Several towns, however, opted for partial suspensions, limiting the directive to face-to-face classes. These include Aguilar, Asingan, Bugallon, Mangaldan, San Fabian, San Jacinto, Sison, and Urbiztondo, citing safety risks for students traveling in affected areas. Basista also suspended classes from preschool to senior high school only.
Cordillera Administrative Region
In Benguet, Sablan suspended all levels of face-to-face classes, while La Trinidad applied suspensions from preschool to senior high school. The mountainous province has been dealing with landslides and slippery roads, raising concerns about travel safety.
Local officials emphasized that the class suspensions are preventive measures, prioritizing the welfare of students and school staff. They advised residents to stay alert for further announcements, as weather conditions remain unstable with lingering rains from the enhanced southwest monsoon.
Authorities also reminded the public to avoid flooded areas, monitor official advisories, and ensure preparedness as recovery and clearing operations continue.
With classes suspended in multiple provinces, the Department of Education is coordinating with local disaster councils to assess damages and prepare for the resumption of learning once conditions improve.
