Why the rain keeps coming
The Habagat is being fed by Tropical Depression Jenny, keeping skies heavy over Luzon. Pampanga declared a state of calamity this week because of the weather.
Check with your school or LGU
Suspensions are decided by each city and province, so please verify with your local government or school before traveling. For the national picture, check the GMA walang pasok list and our earlier report for August 26. Updates are also flagged on our Habagat tracker.
