Zamboanga City Extends Class Suspension Amid Bad Weather
The local government of Zamboanga City has extended the suspension of classes at all levels, affecting both public and private schools. This decision came as bad weather conditions continued to affect the region, prompting authorities to prioritize the safety of students and residents.
Mayor Khymer Olaso initially issued the class suspension order on Tuesday. However, following persistent rainfall and worsening weather, officials reported that the suspension would remain in effect to prevent any risks associated with traveling and outdoor activities.
Weather Advisory and Safety Precautions
According to a rainfall advisory issued by the state weather bureau at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, the area experienced heavy downpours that could lead to flooding and landslides. Local leaders noted the importance of heeding the advisory to avoid accidents and ensure the welfare of the community.
Community members expressed support for the decision, emphasizing that the safety of children and families must come first. “Mas maayo gyud nga magpuyo lang mi sa balay kaysa maglisod ug biyahe sa panahon nga sama niini,” one resident said, highlighting the community’s concern over travel dangers during severe weather.
Continued Monitoring and Updates
Officials reported that the local government will continue monitoring weather conditions closely. They assured the public that any changes regarding the suspension of classes will be communicated promptly through official channels.
