Flood destroys learning modules in Mandaue

About 4,000 families in four barangays in Mandaue City, Cebu were affected by flooding over the weekend.

According to Darlene Cay’s report on Balitanghali on Wednesday, the flood also destroyed several learning modules for students.

The Mandaue Schools Division Office, meanwhile, said it will just print new learning materials.

Lessons this school year may be given via online classes, or via use of printed modules, or use of TV and radio as the country transitions to blended learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moreover, the local government of Mandaue said some of its flood control measures were not in place due to the health crisis.

The local government also urged the national government to build dams on mountains in the area to prevent water from flowing through low areas.

Meanwhile, parts of Cagayan de Oro City were also flooded after two hours of nonstop rain due to localized thunderstorm.

Commuters were left stranded on roads as some vehicles stalled due to the flood. —Ma. Angelica Garcia/KG, GMA News
