Classes are suspended on Friday, August 28, 2026, in various areas across Luzon, including Metro Manila. This decision has been made due to the adverse weather conditions caused by the southwest monsoon, locally known as 'habagat.'

Malacañang announced the suspension of classes and government work for the entire National Capital Region (NCR) and 16 other provinces. This measure is a response to the continuing impact of the monsoon rains, which have affected daily activities in these regions.

Local government units have taken similar actions, confirming class suspensions from preschool through senior high school. Several sources reported that these measures are in effect for both public and private educational institutions.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) has warned that the monsoon rains are expected to persist and could be aggravated by a low-pressure area (LPA) currently present in the Philippine area of responsibility.

As of the latest updates, authorities encourage residents to stay informed about weather conditions and potential further announcements regarding suspensions or safety precautions. No specific details about the areas affected by the class suspensions were publicly listed.
