ILOILO CITY — Classes remained suspended in 11 municipalities in Iloilo on Monday as heavy rains brought by the enhanced southwest monsoon (habagat), intensified by Tropical Storm Inday (international name: Bavi), continued to affect the province, where flooding, landslides, and other weather-related incidents have displaced thousands of residents.
According to the Iloilo Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Operations Center (PDRRMOC), classes at all levels were suspended in the municipalities of Pavia, Oton, Leon, Alimodian, Tubungan, Janiuay, Maasin, New Lucena, and Cabatuan. In San Miguel, only San Antonio Elementary School, San Miguel Central Elementary School, and Santa Cruz Elementary School were ordered to suspend classes, while in Leganes, the suspension covered only Leganes Central Elementary School.
The latest suspension orders came as Iloilo continued to recover from the effects of the habagat, which brought widespread flooding, rain-induced landslides, and infrastructure damage across several municipalities over the weekend.
