Several Local Government Units (LGUs) in Agoncillo, Batangas, have issued official announcements regarding the suspension of classes for Monday, October 9, 2023. This decision has been made in response to the presence of volcanic smog, commonly known as vog, which poses potential health hazards to students and the community. The vog is a result of volcanic activity in the region, which has emitted harmful gases and particulate matter into the atmosphere. As a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and well-being of students and residents, LGUs have chosen to suspend face-to-face classes for the day.

While the suspension of classes may disrupt the regular academic schedule, the safety and health of students and educators must always be a top priority. The decision to suspend classes on October 9 reflects the commitment of these LGUs to protect the community from the adverse effects of vog, which can exacerbate respiratory issues and pose health risks. It is important for students and their families to stay informed about further updates from their respective LGUs and follow safety guidelines during such environmental challenges.
