Even as it rained in parts of the country due to Typhoon Goring, majority of schools reopened without any issues, according to Department of Education (DepEd) Assistant Secretary Francis Bringas.
In the EMBO barangays, there were no “untoward incidents,” Bringas said, even as some parents and other residents had protested Taguig City taking over these densely populated neighborhoods from Makati.
Meanwhile, Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna visited students at Legarda Elementary School as early as 7 am to give a pep talk to students.
Majority of classrooms took down wall decorations as Vice President Sara Duterte, concurrently serving as the education secretary, ordered classrooms cleaned of “clutter.”
The DepEd secretary herself was in Cebu and visited two schools in the northern part of the province.
