Several towns in Batangas province have suspended face-to-face classes on Monday, October 6, due to a scheduled 14-hour power interruption by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).
Public and private schools in Calatagan, Lemery, and Taal have canceled on-site classes, while those in Balayan, Calaca, San Nicolas, and Sta. Teresita shifted to online or modular learning. Batangas State University–Lemery Campus remains unaffected.
The outage, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., will allow the NGCP and the Batangas Electric Cooperative I (Batelec I) to conduct maintenance work, including energization and line transfers. Affected areas include Agoncillo, Balayan, Calatagan, Calaca, Lemery, Lian, Nasugbu, San Luis, San Nicolas, Sta. Teresita, Taal, and Tuy.
