OFFICIALS suspended classes in some parts of Mindanao due to the inclement weather yesterday.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration said heavy rains with lightning and strong winds were expected due to thunderstorms over portions of Surigao del Sur, Maguindanao, North Cotabato, Lanao del Sur, Misamis Occidental, and Zamboanga del Sur.
In Cotabato City, Mayor Frances Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi suspended classes in the elementary, high school, and college levels.
