#WalangPasok: No classes, gov't work in NCR, nearby areas

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 31) — Local government officials have declared class and work suspension on Friday, Sept. 1 due to rainfall brought by the southwest monsoon or habagat, enhanced by Super Typhoon Saola (locally named Goring) and Severe Tropical Storm Hanna.

Malacañang earlier suspended all classes in both public and private schools and work in government offices in the National Capital Region (NCR) due to the bad weather.
