By MANILA, Philippines – At least 22.7 million Filipino students returned to classes in public schools on Tuesday, August 29.
Even as it rained in parts of the country due to Typhoon Goring, majority of schools reopened without any issues, according to Department of Education (DepEd) Assistant Secretary Francis Bringas.
In the EMBO barangays, there were no “untoward incidents,” Bringas said, even as some parents and other residents had protested Taguig City taking over these densely populated neighborhoods from Makati.
Meanwhile, Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna visited students at Legarda Elementary School as early as 7 am to give a pep talk to students.
