The DepEd has emphasized the importance of the immediate resumption of classes to "prevent further disruption of the academic calendar and ensure the continuity of learning, especially after several days of suspension."

"Gov. Baricuatro further reminded local chief executives that class suspensions may still be declared at their discretion, depending on localized on-ground conditions, in coordination with their respective Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (LDRRMCs)," the post added. — GMA Regional TV
