Mayor Marcelino Teodoro also confirmed that classes in Marikina City are suspended for a month due to the damages brought by Ulysses.

Teodoro said the suspension is due to the unstable internet connection in the city and damaged modules which were submerged in floods.

"Dineclare na namin buong siyudad… isang buwan po at all levels, public at private school po. Apektado po kami e. Wala hong internet," the mayor said in an interview with SuperRadyo dzBB.

"Napakahirap no’ng kalagayan namin dito sa Marikina. Wala na nga ‘yung tubig baha pero nag-iwan ito ng makapal na putik sa kabahayan ng mga taga-Marikina kaya marami pa ring nananatili sa evacuation center," he added.

The period will give school officials time to reproduce and redistribute learning modules destroyed by Ulysses. It will also allow the conduct of clean-up operations in most parts of the city.—Julia Mari Ornedo/AOL/LDF, GMA News
