LAGUNA  Governor Sol Aragones has suspended face-to-face classes in all public and private schools in the province from October 14 to 31, 2025.

In a Facebook post, Aragones said classes will shift to online and modular learning during the suspension period.

The governor explained that parents had expressed concern for their children’s safety amid the series of earthquakes affecting different parts of the Philippines.

“Mas mabuti na ang handa, mas mabuti na ang pinaghahandaan ang worst scenario. Sana po hindi matuloy [ang lindol], pero paano po kung natuloy—kinakailangan pong maging handa tayo. Gaya ng sinasabi ko po, prayoridad natin ang buhay ng ating mga estudyante,” Aragones said in a video statement.

She said the decision was made as a precautionary measure against the possible threat of earthquakes in the province.

Aragones added that concerned departments and institutions, including the provincial task force, have agreed with the decision.
