The Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) suspends classes from preschool to high school levels in some part of Mindanao due to heavy rains and flooding. Classes in Butuan City in Agusan del Norte and Davao del Norte both public and private were suspended.
Classes are already suspended in all levels in Compostela Valley and Bayabas, Surigao del Sur due to heavy rains and flooding caused by the Low Pressure Area (Agaton).
According to the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), Surigao del Sur Governor Johnny Pimentel declared the suspension of work in the provincial government on Monday, January 13, 2014 due to the inclement weather, except offices involved in search and rescue operations.
