Classes Suspended In Parts Of Philippines As New Super Typhoon Enters After Ragasa Exits

Classes in several parts of the Philippine are suspended on Wednesday (September 24), as communities continue recovery efforts after the onslaught of Super Typhoon Nando (Ragasa) and the ongoing heavy rains brought by the enhanced southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat.

At the same time, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported that a new tropical depression entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (Par) at 12pm UAE time on Tuesday (September 23).

Named Opong, it is the country's 15th tropical cyclone of 2025 and the fifth for September, arriving just as Super Typhoon Nando (Ragasa) exited the region.
