MANILA, Philippines–The Department of Education and local government units have announced the suspension of classes Monday in various areas affected by Typhoon “Ruby” (international name Hagupit).

Cebu City will make its own declaration on the suspension of classes as it is an independent political entity from the province of Cebu.

Suspension of classes automatically applies to both public and private schools depending on the storm warning signal in their areas.
