Classes in all levels in Metro Manila and provinces nearby are suspended Thursday (August 16).

Aside from the National Capital Region (NCR), classes in all levels in the provinces of Bataan, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas and Rizal are also canceled upon the recommendation of the National Disaster Coordinating Council.

The class suspensions came in the wake of rains and flooding brought by typhoon Egay (international codename: Sepat) on Wednesday.
