Looking for the latest #WalangPasok update for today, September 9, 2026?
Classes have been suspended or shifted to alternative learning modes in several areas of Luzon this Wednesday as communities continue to deal with rain, flooding and the effects of the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.
Unlike the widespread suspensions seen in parts of the country on September 8, the current September 9 announcements are more localized. Most of the confirmed suspensions and shifts are concentrated in parts of Pampanga, Bulacan, Zambales, Pangasinan and Benguet.
Some announcements involve a complete suspension of face-to-face classes, while others shift students to modular, online or other Alternative Learning Modalities.
That distinction is important.
“Walang pasok” does not always mean students have absolutely no school activities for the day. In several areas, face-to-face classes are suspended but lessons continue through alternative learning arrangements.
Below is the latest confirmed list for Wednesday, September 9, 2026.
This article will focus only on announcements that have been reported or confirmed. Parents, students and teachers should still check the official social media pages of their LGU, school or local DepEd office because local announcements can change depending on weather and flooding conditions.

#WalangPasok September 9, 2026: Quick List
As of early Wednesday morning, the following areas have announced class suspensions or changes to face-to-face classes:
Bulacan
- Calumpit
Zambales
- Botolan
Pampanga
- Angeles City
- Masantol
- San Simon
- Sto. Tomas
- Selected schools in Candaba
- Selected schools in the City of San Fernando
Benguet
- Kibungan — daycare only
Pangasinan
- Mangaldan
Here are the details for each area.
Bulacan
Calumpit
Classes at all levels in both public and private schools have shifted to Alternative Learning Modes.
This means regular face-to-face classes are not being conducted, but schools may continue lessons through alternative arrangements.
Calumpit has been one of the Bulacan areas affected by recent flooding and rain associated with the Habagat.
The municipality also suspended classes on September 8, so Wednesday’s announcement continues the disruption experienced by students in the area.
Zambales
Botolan
All levels in public and private schools in Botolan have shifted to Alternative Learning Modes for September 9.
Face-to-face classes are therefore suspended.
Zambales remains one of the areas affected by the Southwest Monsoon.
PAGASA’s latest weather outlook continues to identify Zambales among provinces experiencing rain associated with the Habagat, with the possibility of flash floods or landslides during moderate to heavy rainfall.
Pampanga
Pampanga has the largest number of confirmed class-related announcements for September 9.
Several municipalities and cities continue to experience flooding or other effects of recent rains.
Angeles City
Face-to-face classes at all levels in both public and private schools are suspended.
Schools will shift to Alternative Learning Modalities.
Students should therefore still check instructions from their individual schools regarding online, modular or other class requirements.
Masantol
Classes at all levels in public and private schools are suspended.
According to the current announcement reported by Inquirer, the suspension of face-to-face classes in Masantol is in effect through September 10.
Students and parents should continue monitoring local announcements in case the situation changes before classes resume.
San Simon
Face-to-face classes remain suspended at all levels in public and private schools in San Simon.
The suspension covers the period from September 7 to September 11.
There is one important exception:
Concepcion Integrated School will continue conducting face-to-face classes.
So if you are a student or parent from San Simon, don’t assume the same arrangement applies to every school in the municipality.
Sto. Tomas
Face-to-face classes at all levels in both public and private schools remain suspended.
Schools have shifted to Alternative Learning Modes.
The current suspension is scheduled to continue through September 12.
Candaba
Candaba has a more localized arrangement.
Instead of suspending face-to-face classes municipality-wide, modular classes have been announced for selected schools.
These include:
- Lanang Elementary School
- Pasig Elementary School
- San Agustin Elementary School
- Lanang High School
- Pasig High School
- Paralaya High School
- Pampanga State University or PamSU
Students enrolled in other schools in Candaba should not automatically assume that their classes are suspended.
Check directly with your school or the LGU for confirmation.
City of San Fernando
The City of San Fernando also has school-specific suspensions rather than a citywide cancellation.
According to the latest GMA News list, classes are suspended at:
- Camp Olivas Elementary School in San Nicolas
- Pandaras Integrated School
- San Nicolas Integrated School
Other public schools not included in the suspension list are expected to continue face-to-face classes.
For private schools, decisions may be left to individual school administrators.
This is another reason students should check their specific school rather than relying only on a province-wide #WalangPasok post.
Benguet
Kibungan
The class suspension in Kibungan applies only to daycare classes.
This is not an all-level suspension.
Current reports say daycare face-to-face classes are suspended through September 10.
Students at higher grade levels should therefore follow their normal schedule unless their school or local government issues a separate announcement.
Pangasinan
Mangaldan
Face-to-face classes at all levels in public schools have been suspended, with students shifting to Alternative Learning Modes.
For private schools, the decision is left to the discretion of the school administration.
If you’re enrolled in a private school in Mangaldan, check your school’s official Facebook page, group chat or announcement channel before deciding whether to report to class.
Why Are Classes Suspended Today?
The main reason behind the September 9 class suspensions is the continued effect of the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.
PAGASA’s latest weather forecast says the Southwest Monsoon is affecting Luzon and the Visayas.
Several provinces—including Zambales, Bataan, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Cavite, Batangas and Occidental Mindoro—are expected to experience occasional rains.
Moderate to heavy rainfall can potentially trigger flash floods and landslides in vulnerable areas.
Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon may experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms.
So even in areas where classes have not been suspended, students and commuters should still prepare for possible rainfall.
Habagat Continues to Affect Luzon
The current rainy conditions aren’t simply the result of an isolated afternoon thunderstorm.
PAGASA has been monitoring a period of persistent rain associated with the Southwest Monsoon.
The weather agency reported on September 8 that an LPA-enhanced Habagat had brought persistent heavy rains over Luzon.
The effects have been especially noticeable in flood-prone parts of Central Luzon.
This helps explain why many of Wednesday’s class suspensions are concentrated in Pampanga, Bulacan, Pangasinan and Zambales.
What Is the Weather Forecast for September 9?
PAGASA’s latest forecast shows different conditions depending on the location.
Zambales, Bataan, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Cavite, Batangas and Occidental Mindoro
These areas can expect occasional rain caused by the Southwest Monsoon.
PAGASA warns that moderate to heavy rains may result in flash floods or landslides.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected in Metro Manila and many other areas.
Rain may become moderate to heavy at times.
Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region and Aurora
These areas can experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms associated with the trough of Tropical Cyclone Krovanh.
PAGASA also warns about the possibility of flash floods or landslides during moderate to heavy rainfall.
Visayas
Aklan and Antique may experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the Habagat.
Other parts of the Visayas may experience isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
Are Classes Suspended in Metro Manila Today?
As of the latest confirmed class-suspension lists early Wednesday, there is no general Metro Manila-wide suspension announced for September 9.
This is different from September 8, when several Metro Manila LGUs—including Las Piñas, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Parañaque, Quezon City and Valenzuela—suspended or shifted face-to-face classes because of the weather.
That doesn’t mean conditions will be completely dry today.
PAGASA continues to forecast cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms in Metro Manila due to the Southwest Monsoon.
Students should therefore continue watching for localized announcements, particularly if heavy rain or flooding develops later in the day.
Are Classes Suspended in Cavite Today?
As of the latest confirmed September 9 lists, there is no province-wide or large-scale Cavite class suspension similar to what happened on September 8.
This is worth clarifying because Cavite had extensive suspensions the previous day.
On September 8, numerous Cavite LGUs—including Bacoor, Dasmariñas, General Trias, Imus, Tagaytay, Tanza, Trece Martires and several other municipalities—suspended classes or moved to Alternative Learning Modes.
For September 9, however, the latest national suspension lists do not currently show those Cavite LGUs among the confirmed suspended areas.
Still, PAGASA continues to include Cavite among provinces that may experience occasional rain due to the Habagat.
Parents and students in Cavite should therefore check official LGU announcements before leaving home, especially if local flooding develops.
Does “Shift to Alternative Learning Mode” Mean Walang Pasok?
Not exactly.
This is probably one of the most confusing parts of #WalangPasok announcements.
There are generally two different situations.
Complete Class Suspension
This means classes are suspended.
Depending on the LGU or school announcement, students may not be required to attend either in person or online.
Suspension of Face-to-Face Classes
This means students don’t physically report to school, but learning may continue through another format.
Schools can use arrangements such as:
- Online classes
- Modular learning
- Printed learning materials
- Assignments
- Other Alternative Learning Modalities
So when an announcement says “shift to ALM,” students shouldn’t automatically assume they have a completely free day.
Check what your teacher or school says.
Why Are Some Suspensions Only School-Specific?
Local governments don’t always have to suspend classes across an entire city or municipality.
Flooding can be very localized.
One barangay may have flooded roads while another area only a few kilometers away remains passable.
A school might also be used as an evacuation center, have floodwater around its campus or be located along a road that has become dangerous for students.
That’s why places such as Candaba and San Fernando currently have announcements affecting only selected schools.
Localized suspensions allow unaffected schools to continue classes while protecting students in areas where travel is unsafe.
Why Can Private and Public School Rules Be Different?
LGU announcements sometimes apply to:
- All public and private schools
- Public schools only
- Specific grade levels
- Specific schools
In some cases, private school administrators are allowed to make their own decision.
Mangaldan is one example today: public schools have shifted away from face-to-face classes, while private schools are advised to follow the decision of their respective school management.
So always read the complete announcement instead of stopping at the name of your city or municipality.
What Should Parents and Students Do?
If you’re in an area experiencing heavy rain or flooding, the most reliable approach is to check several official sources.
Check your LGU
City and municipal governments often make suspension announcements through their verified social media accounts.
Check your school
Sometimes a school may suspend classes even when the entire city hasn’t done so.
This is particularly relevant during localized flooding.
Check your teacher’s or class group’s announcement
If classes have shifted to an alternative mode, your teacher may send instructions regarding assignments, modules or online sessions.
Monitor PAGASA
Weather conditions can change quickly.
Heavy rain later in the morning or afternoon can result in additional localized suspensions.
Don’t rely on screenshots without checking the date
This happens every time there’s bad weather.
Old #WalangPasok graphics from a previous day can circulate again on Facebook, Messenger or group chats.
Always check whether the announcement clearly says:
September 9, 2026.
Be Careful With Fake #WalangPasok Announcements
Class suspensions generate huge attention online, which unfortunately also means outdated and fake announcements can spread quickly.
Before sharing a post, look for confirmation from:
- Your city or municipal government
- Provincial government
- Official school page
- DepEd
- PAGASA for weather information
- Established Philippine news organizations
A screenshot without a source should not automatically be treated as an official announcement.
This is especially important when announcements are being issued late at night or early in the morning.
Will More Areas Suspend Classes Today?
It is possible.
Class suspensions are often announced in stages.
An LGU may wait until early morning to assess:
- Rainfall
- Flood levels
- Road conditions
- River levels
- Landslide risks
- Accessibility of schools
- PAGASA advisories
That means the #WalangPasok list for September 9 can still change as conditions develop.
PAGASA continues to warn of possible flash floods and landslides in several parts of Luzon because of moderate to heavy rain associated with the Southwest Monsoon.
If you’re in an area experiencing heavy rainfall but your LGU isn’t yet included in the suspension list, monitor official announcements before your normal travel time.
What About #WalangPasok September 10?
Some of today’s announcements already extend beyond September 9.
For example:
- San Simon’s suspension is scheduled through September 11, except for Concepcion Integrated School.
- Sto. Tomas is under a face-to-face suspension through September 12.
- Masantol’s current announcement extends through September 10.
- Kibungan’s daycare suspension is reported through September 10.
Other LGUs could announce September 10 suspensions later depending on rainfall and flooding.
So if the Habagat continues to affect your area today, expect searches for “#WalangPasok September 10” and “class suspension tomorrow” to increase later this afternoon and evening.

Final Thoughts
The #WalangPasok list for Wednesday, September 9, 2026 is currently much shorter than the widespread suspensions seen the previous day, but several communities in Central and Northern Luzon are still dealing with flooding and the continuing effects of the Habagat.
The most important thing for students and parents is to look carefully at the wording of each announcement.
Some areas have suspended all face-to-face classes.
Others have shifted to Alternative Learning Modes.
Some announcements apply only to public schools.
And in places such as Candaba and San Fernando, only selected schools are affected.
As of the latest confirmed reports, Calumpit in Bulacan, Botolan in Zambales, several Pampanga LGUs and schools, Kibungan daycare classes in Benguet and public schools in Mangaldan, Pangasinan are among those affected.
Meanwhile, PAGASA says the Southwest Monsoon continues to affect Luzon and the Visayas, with several provinces facing possible moderate to heavy rainfall and the accompanying risk of flash floods and landslides.
So even if your area isn’t on the #WalangPasok list right now, keep checking official updates before heading out.
When weather conditions are changing quickly, the latest announcement from your LGU or school is always more important than an old screenshot circulating in a group chat.
Stay dry, stay safe, and always verify before sharing a #WalangPasok announcement.
