ILOILO CITY — The Department of Education (DepEd) has suspended face-to-face classes in 1,500 public schools across five regions.

This comes as Super Typhoon “Inday” (international name: Bavi) continues to maintain its strength while moving westward over the Philippine Sea east of Northern Luzon on Wednesday.

In its 5 p.m. situation report on July 8, DepEd said the class suspensions cover schools in Regions I, II, III, V and the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), where Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals have been raised due to the approaching super typhoon.
