“The casino in Boracay was able to open. Even malls are allowed. Why are our schools still closed?” This is the sentiment of a group of education workers weeks before a new school year opens on Sept. 13 under a blended learning set-up.

“The casino in Boracay was able to open. Even malls are allowed. Why are our schools still closed?”

“We’re less than two weeks away before the new school year starts, but, from what we can tell, the President has not moved an inch on his unscientific and clearly harmful insistence on absolute lockdown on schools,” said ACT Secretary General Raymond Basilio. The group condemned the “unreasonable” and “harmful” lockdown of all 47,000 public schools in the Philippines while neighboring countries have already partially and fully re-opened their schools amid the pandemic.

ACT noted that in a recent Senate committee hearing, DepEd shared that they have identified 100 schools that can pilot a limited run of face-to-face classes. However, the agency “failed to report on concrete steps” being taken to enable such.

Mali yata ang comparison mo, ACT? Mga guro pa naman kayo. Huwag nyo ipasa a g pagka bobo nyo sa mga bata. Ganito yon. Bakit mo ikumpara ang mga sugarol sa studyante? Bahay sugalan sa paaralan? Huwag nyong isugal ang kalusugan at buhay ng mga bata!
