James Ryan Jonas

AuManila flood August 2012Several schools, colleges, and universities within and outside Metro Manila have already announced that classes have been suspended on August 9, 2012 (Thursday) and August 10, 2012 (Friday).
On August 9, some schools — including Claret School in Quezon City, Xavier School in Greenhills, San Juan, and De La Salle University in Taft, Manila — already said that there will be no more classes this week and will resume on Monday, August 13.
The Department of Education (DepEd) and Commission on Higher Education (CHED), however, denied reports circulating in social media networks that they have officially announced a Metro-wide suspension of classes until August 10. The two government agencies clarified in their respective Twitter accounts that such rumors are false.
As of this posting, the following educational institutions have officially announced the suspension of their classes, as per report from ABS CBN News and GMA News. We will continue to update this post with recent information when we get them.
