(Most of the public schools in Quezon City will start classes on July 29, 2024.)

At least 738 schools in four regions are set to postpone the opening of classes due to the onslaught of Super Typhoon Carina which enhanced Southwest Monsoon or Habagat, the Department of Education said Friday.

Some of these schools were affected by flooding while others were used as evacuation centers.

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said on Friday that the July 29 opening of classes must proceed as much as possible, save for areas heavily damaged by Super Typhoon Carina and the Southwest Monsoon. —KG, GMA Integrated News
