Classes in all levels, both in public and private schools, in Zamboanga City remain suspended on Thursday as rains brought by an intertropical convergence zone persisted. According to an advisory from the local government, school authorities were advised to adopt alternative learning modalities to sustain the delivery of education despite the disruption of face-to-face classes.
Amid incessant rains on Thursday, the local government continues to remind residents, especially in flood-prone areas, to take precautionary measures.
The moderate to heavy rain has resulted in flooding in several street sections since Tuesday, making the commute difficult. To address this, the local government deployed vehicles to ferry the stranded commuters for free.
The persistence of rain had affected some activities related to the Zamboanga Hermosa Festival 2025.
In a public notice, organizers of the Ginuman Fest 2025, scheduled for Friday, October 10, said that the venue for the event has been moved from the open grounds of the city’s integrated bus terminal to the Mayor Vitaliano Agan Coliseum in Tetuan village.
Friday’s festivities will kick off at 6 p.m. and will feature the performance of popular rock band 6 Cycle Mind./coa
