Walang pasok: Class, work suspensions for July 17
MANILA, Philippines (Updated 1:59 p.m.) — Classes and work were suspended on Tuesday, July 17, by local government units and private institutions because of monsoon rains enhanced by "Henry," which has developed into a tropical storm and already left the Philippine area of responsibility, according to the 11 a.m. bulletin of PAGASA.
