#WalangPasok – Class suspensions for October 5 2021 due to tropical depression #LanniePH
In its weather bulletin released 11:00 PM of October 4, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that tropical depression “Lannie” is now over the Sulu Sea, about 120 kilometers south-southeast away from the islands of Cuyo, Palawan (9.9°N, 121.5°E).
PAGASA likewise announced that public storm warning signal number 1 is in effect over parts of southern Luzon and Visayas. With that, the rules for automatic class suspensions will be in effect in accordance with Department of Education (DepEd) Order #14 series of 2021 as reported by The Filipino Scribe last July. It is worth pointing out that as per DepEd, the guidelines will apply regardless of the learning delivery modality.
Local government units (LGUs) can also suspend classes in their respective areas as they deem appropriate. It must be reiterated that LGUs must still suspend classes as soon as possible especially since inclement weather makes Internet connectivity unstable and that it also causes power interruptions. The Filipino Scribe will be updating this post when new information becomes available.
