THE PAMANTASAN ng Lungsod ng Maynila announced that synchronous classes will resume after the government placed the National Capital Region under general community quarantine.

PLM President Emmanuel Leyco said that midterm examinations shall proceed as scheduled on May 17-23. He added that faculty members may decide to keep asynchronous mode of learning.

Under the asynchronous mode, students will learn through uploaded videos and lecture materials of their professors.
