Several local government units (LGUs) have announced class suspensions for Tuesday, September 17, due to the anticipated impact of tropical depression Gener.
The following areas have suspended classes at all levels, both in public and private schools:
- Dagupan City
- Ilocos Sur
- Nueva Ecija (including Gapan City)
- Nueva Vizcaya
- Palawan (including Coron)
- Occidental Mindoro (including Magsaysay)
- Pangasinan

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 over portions of the Cagayan Valley region and northern Luzon.
Gener is expected to make landfall near Isabela or Aurora late Monday night or early Tuesday. The storm is also enhancing the southwest monsoon (habagat), which is forecast to bring heavy rainfall to parts of Luzon and Visayas.
