#WalangPasok: Class suspensions, Monday, August 19, 2024

MANILA, Philippines – Some areas suspended classes for Monday, August 19, due to volcanic smog or vog from Taal Volcano in Batangas.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology previously said Taal Volcano’s sulfur dioxide levels have remained elevated since 2021. High SO2 levels can trigger the formation of vog, which may affect people’s health.

This list will be updated once local or national authorities make announcements.
