Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno announced the suspension of classes at all levels in public and private schools on Monday, August 10, 2026, due to heavy rains from the southwest monsoon enhanced by Tropical Cyclone Dolphin, with schools advised to shift to Alternative Delivery Mode. The weather system affects all of Metro Manila, so Quezon City and other LGUs may also suspend classes; residents with students or commuters should monitor local announcements for possible similar suspensions. The suspension applies to all levels in both public and private schools in Manila City; schools are advised to implement Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM); residents should check official LGU channels for updates on class suspensions in their respective cities.
