LATEST WEATHER UPDATE: ‘Bagyong Carina’ PAGASA Latest Update July 31, 2016: Signal No. 2 in 10 Areas
Department of Education (DepEd) Order in Cancellation of Classes
The cancellation of classes is pursuant to the DepEd Order No. 43, s. 2012 or the Guidelines on the Implementation of Executive Order No. 66 (Prescribing Rules on the Cancellation or Suspension of Classes and Work in Government Offices Due to Typhoons, Flooding, Other Weather Disturbances, and Calamities)
As discussed in the said DO, classes in affected areas are automatically suspended based on the PAGASA declared storm signals, while local government units (LGUs)—not the DepEd—decide on the announcement of class suspensions during calamities in the absence of a storm signal.
DepEd reiterates this to guide parents and help ensure the safety of students in the event of typhoons, flooding, and other weather disturbances and calamities.
Classes in the affected areas shall be automatically cancelled or suspended once the PAGASA raised the following storm signals: 1) Signal No.1, public and private pre-school and kindergarten classes; 2) Signal No. 2, public and private pre-school, kindergarten, elementary and high school classes (including Senior High School); and Signal No. 3, classes in all levels.
Storm signal warnings declared by PAGASA at 10:00 PM, and 4:30 AM of the following day will reflect on the cancellation and suspension of classes for the whole day in appropriate levels in the affected areas. Meanwhile, Storm signal warnings declared by PAGASA at 11:00 AM day will automatically cancel or suspend the same day’s afternoon classes in the appropriate levels in the affected areas.
