Classes have been suspended in Nueva Ecija for Tuesday, August 4, 2026, as bad weather moved across the region, according to Inquirer.net.
The suspension comes as Tropical Depression Luis and the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, brought heavy rain and hazardous conditions to parts of the northern Philippines, the report said.
Inquirer.net noted that the decision affects schools in the province, though the specific scope—whether public and private institutions at all levels are included—was not detailed in the available report. The announcement was made in response to the deteriorating weather, which has also prompted similar actions in neighboring areas.
The Philippine News Agency separately reported that Pangasinan also suspended classes and government work on the same day due to Luis and the habagat. Inquirer.net’s broader coverage listed multiple class and work suspensions across the region for August 4, citing the tropical depression as the trigger.
Weather tracking by Rappler indicated that Luis weakened into a low-pressure area (LPA) after its initial impact, while another LPA formed in the region. The southwest monsoon continued to cause rain independently of the storm systems, according to the same report.
ABS-CBN’s roundup of class suspensions for August 4 also attributed the closures to the LPA and the habagat, reinforcing that the weather disruption was widespread rather than isolated to one province.
Authorities in affected provinces have urged residents to monitor official weather bulletins and local announcements, as conditions could shift with the evolving storm systems. Further suspensions or adjustments to work schedules may follow if the monsoon persists or the new LPA intensifies, according to the reports cited.
