The Philippines has closed schools down and warned of overloading on its power grid, as authorities across Southeast Asia issued a series of health
alerts for a crushing and deadly heat wave.
The Philippines' country's education ministry cancelled in-person classes at public schools for two days on Sunday.
Temperatures in the Philippines are forecast to reach 37 degree Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) in the next three days, with many classrooms crowded and without air conditioning.
