A report Thursday, for example,
from the Department of Science & Technology (DOST)-PAG-ASA that the heat
index would reach 46° prompted Mayor Bona Fe D. Parayno to suspend the classes
to protect the students.
The action of Parayno was not new
because in April 3, 2024 she signed Executive Order No. 2024-019 that instructs the suspension of all face-to-face schoolings in pre-school to high school levels in both
public and private schools under the local government here.
DOST-PAG-ASA said that the 46° is
under the classification “danger” to humans that would cause cramps,
exhaustion, or stroke to those who expose themselves under the
blistering sun.
To those school officials who
would continue the direct mode of classes, it is up for them, according to the
Mayor, because they have been authorized by the Department of Education (DepEd)
based on DepEd Order No. 037 Series of 2022. The order is about the g๐ถ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด

Parayno, however, said that the
parents, guardians and the students should coordinate with the school officials
to know the mode of learning the children are going to undertake.
Mayor Parayno cautioned her
constituents to protect their health and safety under the sizzling heat felt
not only in the Philippines but in the other regions of the world.
Earlier, the mayor advice the
people here to drink enough water, stay at shaded area, avoid exposing
themselves to the merciless sun, wear comfortable dress, use protection from
the sun like umbrella, hat and sunglasses.
