DepEd: Classes to resume in Region 2 except Nueva Vizcaya

Except for Nueva Vizcaya province, classes at the kindergarten, elementary and high school levels will resume Wednesday in Cagayan Valley, where typhoon Pedring (international name, “Nesat") made landfall early Tuesday. The Department of Education said in its Twitter account Tuesday night that classes up to high school will remain suspended in Nueva Vizcaya. "Classes will resume tomorrow, Sept 28, except in Nueva Vizcaya where classes will remain suspended for kinder, elementary & high school," it said. On the other hand, it said classes in the Ilocos region will remain suspended Wednesday with many areas there still under Storm Signal No. 3. "Region 1 still under signal no. 3, classes will remain suspended tom, Sept 28, for kinder, elementary and high school," it said. On Tuesday, "Pedring" lashed through Luzon, including Metro Manila, bringing torrential rains that flooded many parts of the main island and damaging crops and infrastructure. Heavy rains, strong winds and floods prompted authorities to suspend government offices as well as classes in private and public schools in Metro Manila. — VS, GMA News
