No classes in Cebu province due to extreme heat
All classes in Cebu province are suspended beginning Friday, April 5, until further notice as the summer heat became risky for teachers and students to go out.
Governor Gwendolyn Garcia issued a memorandum on Friday, directing local governments under the province’s jurisdiction to cancel all classes until further notice.
The governor justified her order, saying the unusually high heat index in Cebu province poses a risk to the well-being of students and teachers.
Since Tuesday, April 3, several areas in Cebu have decided to allow schools to cancel face-to-face classes and implement other modes of learning as the island province continues to suffer extreme heat due to the El Niño phenomenon.
In the past few weeks, the heat indices have reached dangerous levels, with some days hitting as high as 39 degrees Celsius.
