No classes up to HS in north, central Luzon

MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATE) Classes at all levels in Metro Manila are suspended starting at 12 noon Wednesday, an official of the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) has announced.

NDCC spokesman Anthony Golez made the announcement in the light of heavy rains brought about by typhoon “Karen” (international codename: Nuri).

Earlier on Wednesday, the Department of Education suspended classes in the elementary and high school levels in Malabon, Navotas, and Valenzuela.

Typhoon signals have been raised over northern and central Luzon provinces.

The NDCC announced Tuesday night the suspension of classes in the elementary and secondary levels in areas under public storm signal number 3 and 2, and in seven other provinces on Wednesday.

"In addition to areas under public storm signal 2 and 3, classes in the elementary and secondary levels are suspended Wednesday, in La Union, Pangasinan, Zambales, Tarlac, Bataan, Pampanga, and Bulacan," the NDCC said in a statement.
