Zambales towns cancel classes and prepare for Typhoon Nika's impact

Typhoon Nika, also known as Toraji, has intensified and is affecting several towns in Zambales, Philippines. Local officials have activated disaster management councils to prepare for possible evacuations in areas at risk of landslides and flooding. Classes have been canceled in San Marcelino and nearby towns, including San Antonio, Cabangan, Botolan, Iba, and Sta. Cruz. Authorities have stocked food and supplies for potential evacuees. Nika made landfall in Dilasag, Aurora, on Monday morning and is moving inland, prompting these safety measures.
