Weather-related class suspensions and monsoon impacts

Overview

By early September 2026, the combined impact of tropical cyclones Luis, Maymay, and Neneng, alongside the southwest monsoon (Habagat), has affected approximately 8.8 million people across ten regions. The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) reported a death toll of 33, with 19 injured and three missing. Submerged areas include 646 locations across seven regions, with Pampanga identified as a hardest-hit province.

Economic devastation has intensified. While initial estimates placed agricultural damages at ₱2.32 billion, the Department of Agriculture now reports that losses have reached ₱3.62 billion. This includes ₱1.90 billion in rice production losses, ₱1.03 billion in high-value crops, ₱412.84 million in fisheries, and ₱119.84 million in corn. The destruction spans eight regions, including Cordillera, Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol, and Western Visayas, affecting 86,466 farmers and 74,809 hectares of land. These losses have raised concerns regarding the food supply chain.

Weather monitoring continues as PAGASA issued orange rainfall warnings for Bataan, Zambales, and Pampanga, indicating a threat of flooding, while yellow warnings cover Metro Manila, Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Tarlac, and Bulacan. Tropical Storm Pilandok (Krovanh) remains near the exit of the Philippine Area of Responsibility, continuing to enhance the southwest monsoon and bringing heavy rainfall and strong gusts to much of Luzon, Visayas, and parts of Mindanao.
