SANTA MAGDALENA, SORSOGON — Classes on Monday, Dec. 2, in some parts of Sorsogon were suspended due to heavy rains caused by the shear line, authorities said on Sunday.

In Sorsogon City, Mayor Ma. Ester Hamor ordered the suspension of classes from kindergarten to secondary levels in both private and public schools.

Hamor advised her constituents to “stay indoors” and “avoid unnecessary travel” as the bad weather continues.

In Donsol town, Mayor Teodoro De Guzman also announced a municipality-wide class suspension on Monday.

De Guzman also ordered a “no sailing policy” as they anticipated rough sea conditions.

Residents living near landslide- and flood-prone areas were also advised to prepare for potential evacuation.
