Weather authorities are closely monitoring a possible typhoon that may affect parts of the country on Friday, March 13, 2026. Also, the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) continues to influence many areas of the Philippines. These weather systems may bring cloudy skies, gusty winds, and intermittent rainfall across several provinces, potentially resulting in Walang Pasok. As the situation develops, class suspensions may be declared by several LGUs in Eastern Visayas, Bicol, Davao Region, and SOCCSKSARGEN.
Because of these possible weather impacts, local government units may also consider class suspensions or “Walang Pasok” if conditions worsen or pose risks to public safety. Strong winds, continuous rainfall, and flooding in low-lying or landslide-prone areas may disrupt travel and daily activities, including school operations. For this reason, students, parents, and teachers are encouraged to monitor official announcements from local authorities and stay updated through reliable weather advisories.
Given the current forecast, class suspensions are possible, especially if rainfall warnings escalate. According to DepEd Order No. 037, s. 2022, which updates the implementation of automatic class suspensions:
- Orange Rainfall Warning prompts the automatic suspension of classes from Kindergarten to Senior High School (both public and private).
- Red Rainfall Warning results in automatic class suspension at all levels.
Safety Reminders for Students and Parents
Due to the heavy rains expected on March 13, 2026 (Friday), several local government units and DepEd divisions may suspend face-to-face classes. During these weather disturbances, students and parents must remain alert and take precautionary measures, especially in flood-prone and low-lying areas. Staying indoors and avoiding unnecessary travel can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and exposure to unsafe conditions.
To stay safe, families are advised to avoid flooded areas, even if the water appears shallow and calm. It’s also important to monitor official news sources, such as PAGASA, NDRRMC, and local government updates, for real-time advisories. Prepare emergency kits with essential items, including food, water, a flashlight, and first aid supplies. Also, ensure that all devices are fully charged to stay connected and informed during power interruptions or emergencies. Prioritising safety and preparedness can help protect lives and ease the impact of severe weather.
Weather Update from PAGASA for March 13, 2026
Tropical Storm Nuri remains far east of the Visayas and its trough affects the eastern section of Mindanao. Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Davao Oriental will experience scattered rains and thunderstorms. Moderate to heavy rains may cause flash floods or landslides, especially in low-lying and mountainous areas. These conditions may lead local officials to suspend classes in vulnerable communities. Schools in affected areas should stay alert for weather updates.
Meanwhile, the Northeast Monsoon brings light rains over Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, and parts of Visayas, with no major impact expected. Other parts of Mindanao may still experience isolated thunderstorms, which can trigger localized flooding. Moderate to strong northeast winds will affect Luzon and the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao, producing moderate to rough seas. Authorities will continue to monitor conditions closely, as sudden weather changes may still affect class schedules.

FAQs about Class Suspension
Currently, several cities and provinces have declared class suspensions or “Walang Pasok” days.
Suspensions are usually based on PAGASA’s rainfall warning levels, flood forecasts, or storm signals. The safety of students, especially in flood-prone areas, is the top priority.
Not always. Public schools follow DepEd or LGU announcements, while private schools, colleges, and universities may issue separate advisories.
This depends on the school or division office. In some cases, face-to-face classes are suspended; however, online or modular classes may continue unless otherwise stated.
