MANILA: The Philippines’ Department of Education - National Capital Region (DepEd NCR) has ordered the suspension of face-to-face classes in all public schools across Metro Manila, the capital region and largest metropolitan area of the Philippines, on Oct 13 and 14, the Philippine News Agency (PNA) reported.
In an advisory released Sunday, DepEd NCR cited the rising number of influenza-like illnesses among students and school personnel, as well as the recent series of earthquakes that struck different parts of the country, as reasons for the two-day suspension.
