What happened

The August 17 FMB News overnight brief reports in-person class suspensions in selected LGUs in Cavite, Batangas, Bulacan and Pampanga, citing local safety concerns after prolonged monsoon rainfall.

The brief specifically names General Trias, Nasugbu, Calumpit, Hagonoy and Apalit. Coverage can change through the morning, so readers should still check their LGU and school for the latest scope.
