Severe Tropical Storm Opong has prompted several local government units (LGUs) across Luzon and the Visayas to suspend classes for Thursday, September 25, as the storm intensifies and moves closer to the country.



The state weather bureau PAGASA reported that Opong (international name: Bualoi) intensified into a severe tropical storm on Wednesday, with the potential to reach typhoon strength before its expected landfall over the Bicol Region on Friday. Its anticipated path may also bring it south of Metro Manila on Friday evening.

In preparation for heavy rainfall and strong winds, numerous LGUs have declared class suspensions. Malacañang has also suspended work in government offices in four provinces.
