Classes Suspended in College Up to Friday, Oct 2 2009 in Metro Manila, Other Calamity Areas, NDCC Meeting 29 September 2009

29 September 2009  10:50am

I've been watching the NDCC meeting chaired by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo assisted by NDCC Chair and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro for several minutes now.  The NDCC meeting is being aired live over DZMM Teleradyo. The program of Ariel Ureta and Winnie Cordero gave way to the airing of the NDCC meeeting. 

The DZMM reporter gave us the information that CHED Chairman Emmanuel Angeles has announced in said NDCC meeting that classes in college are being suspended in Metro Manila and in other calamity areas up to Friday, October 2, 2009.

With this information, we can safely give this advisory:

No classes in all levels in Metro Manila, other calamity areas (still to be specified) from today Tuesday, September 29, 2009 up to Friday, October 2, 2009 

We still have to determine which provinces declared as calamity areas are covered by this class suspension.  I'm sure Rizal is included because it is just as severely-stricken as Metro Manila. 

 Screenshot of NDCC meeting at DZMM Teleradyo, 11:12am, September 29, 2009

The NDCC meeting is still ongoing as of 11:12am with Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes making his report on the power situation. I'll post the updates here as soon as they arrive.


UPDATE
29 September 2009 11:55am

It's now official, no classes in all levels in Metro Manila up to Friday, October 2, 2009; as usual kulelat na naman ang DepEd ni Secretary Jesli Lapus sa announcement.

Storm Ondoy Lashes at Metro Manila, Rest of Luzon, Classes Suspended in FEU and PUP, Major Disaster Looms, September 26 2009

26 September 2009

Very strong rains spawned by tropical storm Ondoy has placed many areas of Metro-Manila and Rizal province under flood waters.

DZMM says that FEU and PUP have suspended their classes.  


But DZMM is flashing the news that CHED is leaving it to school authorities to decide on whether to suspend classes or not ("CHED: school admin, bahala na sa suspensyon ng klase"). Meron pa bang malasakit itong mga taga CHED?  Common sense tells us that in this kind of stormy weather, the easiest thing for the CHED to do is to order the suspension of classes instead of exposing students to unnecessary risks.  If I were you, I'll stay at home no matter what the CHED says.  It's really dangerous out there right now.

DZMM (and I'm sure other radio stations as well) is swamped with messages from people many of them literally in the roofs of their houses asking to be rescued from the widespread flooding.  I don't think I've seen this kind of an emerging disaster in my lifetime.  

Quirino, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya are under signal no. 2. Metro Manila and Cavite are under signal no. 1. Mayor Mon Ilagan of Cainta speaking with David Oro of DZMM Teleradyo has reported that 90 percent of his town is under water.  

These are some of the news items being flashed by DZMM Teleradyo:
ER ng UST hospital, pinasok na ng baha
Water level sa Angat Dam, umabot na sa 'spilling level'
East Avenue hanggang Kamias Road sa QC, di na madaanan
6 munisipalidad sa Batangas, walang kuryente
3 bata, nalunod sa Muntinlupa
2, patay sa pagguho ng pader sa MIA Road

These are the related reports courtesy of GMA News:






UPDATE
26 September 2009  (1:50pm)

ABS-CBN's Wowowee is flashing the following storm signals and flooded areas (2:00pm):

Signal no. 2  Aurora, Quirino Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Zambales, Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, Northern Quezon, Polillo Island 

Signal No. 1: Isabela, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Benguet, La Union, Ilocos Sur, Laguna, Cavite, Batangas, Rest of Quezon Province, Mindoro Provinces, Lubang Island, Marinduque, Camarines Norte, Bataan, Metro Manila 

Flooded areas: Marikina access loop to Marcos Bridge  from Marcos Highway to C5, C5 Eagle St. in front of Tiendesitas, Nichols East and West Service Road, Quezon Ave. along Biak-na-Bato east and west-bound, Quezon Avenue to D. Tuazon, Commonwealth Fairview Market, NLEX Cloverleaf Area, Ortigas Eastbound, España from Antipolo to Blumentritt, Malugay St. in Makati, SLEX to Ayala Avenue, Metropolitan South Avenue, Pasong Tamo to J. P. Rizal to Davila St.

These are the hotline nos. of NDCC: 9115061,  9125668,  9120984

Ingat po kayong lahat.  God bless po!

Any Suspension of Classes in NCR for September 9, 2009 Will Be Recommended to DepEd by PagAsa by 4am — According to Ron Gagalac of ABS-CBN's Bandila

DZMM Teleradyo announcing suspension of afternoon classes in preschool, elementary and high school in Metro Manila (NCR) Sept. 9, 2009, Wednesday

8 September 2009  11:33pm

In tonight's edition of Bandila, Ron Gagalac reported about ten minutes ago from Pagasa that the weather monitoring bureau will recommend to the DepEd any suspension of classes for Wednesday, September 9, 2009 by 4am.  

Continuous rains for the past few days brought about by the southwest monsoon (hanging habagat) has caused heavy flooding in a number of Metro Manila areas which might necessitate a suspension. In Malabon, flooding prompted Mayor Tito Oreta to order the suspension of afternoon classes in five barangays earlier today. 

In any event, I hope this wait won't be as long as the last one.  Ingat po kayo.


FLOOD SITUATIONER IN LUZON

24 Barangay sa Bulacan, lubog din sa baha

From GMA News, we have these reports of flooding in Sta. Ana (Pampanga), Botolan (Zambales), Morong, Dinalupihan, Abucay, Samal, Almacen, Hermosa, Balanga City (Bataan) and landslides in Caranglan, Nueva Ecija:

Classes Suspended in Preschool, Elementary and High School in Taguig, Pasay, Pateros, Caloocan and Malabon, Late Morning of August 6, 2009, Thursday

6 August 2009  12:25pm

Classes have been suspended at the preschool, elementary and high school levels in some areas in Metro Manila specifically,  Taguig, Pasay, Pateros, Caloocan and Malabon.  Pia Arcangel made the announcement at Balitanghali a few minutes ago.

Manila also had classes suspended up to the high level but this applies to public schools only.

Navotas and Valenzuela have also reportedly suspended classes up to the high school level but it's not clear if this applies to both public and private schools in said cities.

This is the video clip of Pia Arcangel's report in Balitanghali.

July 17, 2009 - 4:30am - Classes Suspended in Preschool, Elementary and High School in Metro Manila According to DZMM Teleradyo

17 July 2009

I'm watching DZMM Teleradyo and they're saying that classes are suspended at the preschool, elementary and high school levels today, Friday, July 17, 2009 in Metro Manila.

UPDATE
17 July 2009 5:30am

Kausap kanina lang ni Igan Arnold Clavio sa Unang Hirit si CHED Chairman Emmanuel Angeles at mukhang ang decision tungkol sa anumang suspension ng college classes ay ipapaubaya sa school administrators.  

Nanaykupo! Aba'y walang iniwan sa usapin ng pagtataas ng tuition fee. Palaging eskuwelahan ang nasusunod!  Bakit kaya hindi na lang buwagin ang CHED!

Ang personal na pananaw ko po ay dapat sinuspinde na rin nila ang college classes kasi marami pong mga lugar na baha kung saan nakatira o daraan yung ating mga estudyante.  At sa tantiya n'yo ba ay lulubayan tayo ng ulan sa maghapon?!

Tama po yung komento, tao rin ang mga college students, hindi sila waterproof at nagkakasakit din sila and their health and safety should be seriously considered by our education authorities. Sa panahon po nang pagragasa ng H1N1, di ba dapat panatilihing mataas ang resistensiya ng ating mga mag-aaral?  Naiintindihan kaya 'yan ni Chairman Angeles?!

Maybe it's time for Chairman Emmanuel Angeles of the CHED to get another job.  

Mainam po siguro na tawagan natin at padalhan ng email ang ilan sa ating mga Senador para huwag na pong maulit ang kapabayaang ganito ng ating mga education officials.  Ito ang mga contact details:

Si Senador Mar Roxas po ang Chairman ng Senate Committee on Education, Arts and Culture. Ito po ang listahan ng mga Senador natin na miyembro ng Senate Committee on Education (paki-click po 'yung JPEG image para mas mabasa ninyo):

Mainam po na pakiusapan natin si Senador Mar Roxas na mitingin nang madalas ang Senate Committee on Education. Marami pong dapat pag-usapan sa komite na 'yan katulad po ang isyung ito na may kinalaman sa kaligtasan at kalusugan ng ating mga mag-aaral.  Dapat po siguro ay napanood na natin si Senador Roxas sa TV ngayong umagang ito at nagpapahayag ng kanyang pananaw sa usaping ito.

Dapat din pong pag-igihin ni Senador Roxas ang pagpadyak sa usapin ng tuition fee increase moratorium at pagbigay proteskyon sa mga magulang na hirap na hirap na sa pagbabayad ng pataas nang pataas na tuition fee. Mukhang pinabayaan niya po ang napakahalagang isyu na 'yan. Sana po ay magtulong-tulong tayong kakalampagin natin ang kanyang opisina tungkol sa usapin ng tuition fee.  Puwede n'yo pong kausapin si Mr. Luis Abad, legislative staff ni Senador Roxas o dili kaya ay ang kaniyang Chief of Staff na si Atty. Blas Viterbo.

This is Unang Hirit announcement from Igan Arnold Clavio courtesy of GMANews.tv:



This article by GMANews.tv, entitled  ‘Isang’ prompts classes, work, flights suspensions, tells of colleges which have also suspended their classes:
As no storm signal was hoisted over Metro Manila, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) said it was leaving to authorities of colleges and universities whether to suspend classes or not.

Radio reports said those that declared classes suspensions were Philippine Christian University, Polytechnic University of the Philippines and Far Eastern University, all in Manila.

"Dito sa area namin kasi pag umulan nagkakabuhol-buhol ang traffic at bumabaha sa Anonas Street. Gusto namin pangalagaan ang estudyante namin [Our area is flood-prone and traffic builds up when it rains. We want to protect our students]," PUP president Dante Guevarra said in an interview on dzXL radio, in explaining the suspension of classes for the day.

In a telephone call to GMANews.TV, Reinerio Quinto, school registrar of the Central Colleges of the Philippines along Aurora Boulevard in Quezon City, said they were also suspending classes.

"We know that roads to our school are flooded or would be flooded, so our school president decided to call off classes for today," Quinto said.
