Super Typhoon Inday (international name Bavi) moved into the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) early Wednesday morning, bringing heavy weather to the country. Despite the state meteorologists’ forecast that the cyclone won’t make landfall, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) says the enormous circulation of the cyclonic system is actually strengthening the southwest monsoon (habagat).
The outcome is a prolonged period of intense rain and intense thunderstorms which will force immediate safety actions. When parents, students, and teachers have to cope with this extreme climate situation, keeping them informed with the latest class suspension of Super Typhoon Inday is essential. In-person activities were already mandated to be rolled back by local government units (LGUs) in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Follow all school cancellations and learning shifts from the region with our in-depth School Cancellation Guide for July 8-10.
Tracking the Current Typhoon Path and Habagat Impact
Super Typhoon Inday is still rolling over the Philippine Sea with strong winds and large ocean waves as of 8 July 2026. Despite the absence of a direct landfall, enhanced habagat is bringing deep tropical moisture into western and northern parts of the country leading to urban flooding and high landslide threat.
PAGASA has advisories for Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals in several parts of the northern region which include parts of Isabela, Kalinga, and Aurora. Meanwhile, the disaster response units are on heightened alert in Metro Manila, CALABARZON, and Western Visayas due to its heavy rainfall warnings.
July 8–10 School Cancellation Guide: Affected Regions
Schools may be closed or scheduled for digital shifts at the end of the week as weather is forecast to be unpredictable. The following is the active breakdown of any declared suspensions and learning adjustments:
Metro Manila (National Capital Region)
Several mayors in northern Metro Manila had to cancel the regular face-to-face classes on Wednesday, July 8, due to the ongoing monsoon rains and localized flooding that forced schools to switch to online lessons.
- Caloocan City: Mayor Along Malapitan suspended face-to-face classes from daycare to Senior High School, schools transition to ASYNC learning.
- All levels (public or private) in Malabon City will have to shift to Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM) for now.
- Navotas City: Mayor John Rey Tiangco decided to close the doors of preschool to Senior High School classes, including the daycare and nursery levels, and switch to online or modular learning.
Visayas and Mindanao Regions
The extent of the monsoon strengthening from Super Typhoon Inday is far beyond the capital.
- Face-to-face class suspensions were confirmed by local disaster risk management teams in five towns for all levels (public and private) of classes: Anini-y, Tobias Fornier, Hamtic, Patnongon, and Sibalom.
- Tragic news from the Negros Island Region: Classes are suspended today (May 22) in Canlaon City, Negros Oriental, to keep the students safe as the winds of inclement weather are expected to worsen the rest of the day.

LGU Emergency Hotlines and Safety Protocols
When navigating multi-day storm windows, following a structured family safety plan ensures you remain protected from flash floods and sudden electrical failures.
1.Monitor Localized LGU Updates Continuously:Immediate Preparation.
Rely on the verified social media channels of your specific city or provincial government. Do not wait for national announcements, as local mayors hold the executive power to declare lightning or flood-related suspensions.
2.Transition Smoothly to Remote Learning Platforms:Prioritize Tech Preparedness.
Ensure all student mobile devices, laptops, and power banks are fully charged. Download your modular learning packets or sync with Google Classroom early in case localized power grid failures occur.
3.Save Emergency LGU Hotlines Locally:Establish Communication.
Keep active disaster response contacts saved on your phone. For example, Caloocan residents can reach their 24/7 emergency dispatch team directly at (02) 888-25664 or via mobile at 0908-81-25664.
For additional updates regarding nationwide public school directives, check the Department of Education (DepEd) Official Portal. Real-time weather monitoring can be cross-referenced via the PAGASA Tropical Cyclone Bulletin System.
FAQs
Are college and university classes automatically suspended?
Not always. Unless your specific LGU explicitly states “all levels,” higher education institutions retain the autonomy to decide whether to suspend face-to-face classes or transition into synchronous online sessions.
What is the “Habagat” and how does a typhoon enhance it?
The habagat is the southwest monsoon, a seasonal wind pattern carrying heavy moisture. When a massive system like Super Typhoon Inday sits in the Philippine Sea, its counterclockwise rotation acts like a vacuum, aggressively pulling the wet monsoon winds directly across the archipelago.
How can I track class cancellations for July 9 and July 10?
Mayors usually announce subsequent suspensions between 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM on the preceding evening, or as early as 4:30 AM on the day of the cancellation. Keep tabs on local news channels like GMA News Online for live, rolling updates.
