Education (DepEd) said local chief executives may implement
localized class suspensions or cancellations during weather disturbances in the
absence of typhoon signal warnings from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical
and Astronomical Services Administration (Pag-asa).
DepEd said that local chief executives, in their capacity as
chairpersons of the local disaster councils and in coordination with the
national disaster council, may cancel or suspend classes in private and public
schools and work in government offices in their
locality through all forms of mass media available under the
circumstance.
DepEd Region 3 School Division Superintendent Nicolas
Capulong said,“According to DepEd Order No. 43, any decision to cancel or
suspend classes must come from the local government.”
“A school head may only cancel or suspend classes in cases
where urgent action is needed to prevent loss of life or bodily harm,”Capulong
added.
Capulong also said, “LGU officials are expected to announce cancellation
or suspension not later than 4:30 a.m. for whole day cancellation or suspension
or not later than 11 a.m. for afternoon cancellation or suspension.”
