Ginsuspinde ni Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas ang face-to-face classes halin sa pre-school tubtub sa senior high school sa pribado kag pampubliko nga mga eskwelahan sa syudad sang Iloilo subong nga adlaw, Agusto 27.
Ginatugyan naman sa school administrators ang desisyon kun ipaiway man anay ang mga klase sa college level.
Ang desisyon sang alkalde ang kasunod sang rekomendasyon halin sa City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) bangud sa pagbaha dala sang mamunog nga ulan nga epekto sang Habagat sa Western Visayas.
Yari ang kabug-usan nga aprubado nga report:
“Based on available data and observation, due to the effects of Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) across Western Visayas, Iloilo City will continue to experience light to moderate with at times occasional heavy rains and cloudy skies with 100% cloud cover in the next 2-3 days.
Meanwhile, the continuous rain beginning this late afternoon has reached a record of 45mm rainfall based in the hazard sensor network in CPU as of 10:42pm. This also caused flooding in several areas in Jaro and is expected to affect more barangays given the forecast, the number of exposed areas and the vulnerabilities of people and assets to flooding.
Of prime importance is the need to ensure the safety and general welfare of the children and the residents of the city particularly from leptospirosis. Thus, we hereby recommend to the Chair of the CDRRMC, Mayor Jerry P. Treñas, the suspension of face-to-face classes from preschool to senior high school in both public and private schools in the City of Iloilo, tomorrow, August 27, 2024. Suspension of classes at the college level is left to the discretion of the school administrators.”
