CAGAYAN Governor Manuel Mamba suspended classes in all levels in public and private schools until the end of November to give students and faculty time to recover from the effects of Typhoon Ulysses.

Mamba said students and teachers should be given ample time to recover from the effects of the worst flood in the history of Cagayan. Last week, Typhoon Ulysses submerged most parts of Luzon especially Cagayan Valley.

“Minarapat ng ama ng lalawigan na palawigin pa ang suspensyon ng klase para mabigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga mag-aaral, guro at magulang na tutukan muna ang pagsasaayos sa kanilang tahanan, kagamitan at kabuhayan,” Mamba said in a post.

“Nakikita ni Gob. Mamba na para sa pangkalahatang interes ng mamamayan na habang marerekober ang lahat sa epekto ng kalamidad ay hindi na muna makukumplika ng hamon ng distance learning dahil sa Covid-19,” he added.

Meanwhile, the administration of the Bulacan State University declared an academic break from November 19 to 29 after receiving requests from students and faculty who were affected by Typhoon Ulysses.

“Let this be a time of reflection for all of us to gain insights and move forward. And most of all, we call upon all BulSUans: let us kneel, humble ourselves, and pray earnestly for God’s grace and love,” the university said.
