Wakas in Imus, Cavite on Sunday, July 28, 2024, ahead of today's school opening. Danny PataClasses across the country opened today even as some schools will remain shut pending repairs on damages caused by two typhoons and the enhanced southwest monsoon last week.
Central Luzon posted the most number of affected schools with 452, Region 1 with 231, the National Capital Region with 225, Calabarzon with 67, and SOCCSKSARGEN with four. “For the obvious reason, many of our communities are still faced with a problem with the damage left by the typhoon and habagat. We think that, even if the schools are physically okay, our teachers and parents need enough time to really prepare physically, emotionally, and even financially,” TDC chair Benjo Basas said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
“Even as we are still dealing with the aftermath of Typhoon Carina, we continue in our preparations for Balik-Eskwela this year,” PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said.
