DEPED UPDATES CLASS SUSPENSION GUIDELINES AMID TYPHOON, RAINFALL ALERTS

The Department of Education (DepEd) has released updated guidelines for class and work suspensions during disasters. DepEd Order No. 22, s. 2024, which revises earlier protocols, aligns suspension procedures with PAGASA’s Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals (TCWS) and rainfall warnings:

TCWS 1: Automatic suspension for Kindergarten.

TCWS 2: Face-to-face classes for Kindergarten to Grade 10 are suspended. Elementary and Junior High School will shift to modular or distance learning as per the Learning and Service Continuity Plan (LSCP).

TCWS 3 and above: No classes and work for all levels, from Kindergarten to Senior High School.

For Rainfall Warnings:
- Yellow Warning: Localized suspension decisions will be made by the local government unit (LGU), with schools transitioning to modular or alternative learning.
- Orange/Red Warning: Automatic suspension for Kindergarten to Grade 12 and ALS. If classes have started, schools must ensure the safety of students and personnel if travel is unsafe.

The updated guidelines prioritize the safety of students and school personnel while ensuring learning continuity during severe weather conditions. Schools are directed to implement modular or distance learning to meet required competencies when face-to-face classes are suspended.

Here is the revised DepEd memo for more information:https://www.deped.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/DO_s2024_022.pdf

“Walang mang-aalipin, kung walang magpapaalipin.” – Dr. Jose Rizal

A hero whose weapon was not a sword but a pen, Dr. José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda—a national hero, writer, and political activist—greatly contributed against the colonial rule of Spaniards. His controversial works sparked enlightenment among Filipinos, making it the first act of independence. Throughout his journey, he symbolized hope and courage, proving that anything can be conquered with a righteous voice.

As we commemorate and acknowledge Rizal's sacrifices, let this day serve as a reminder that nothing will change if we remain silent. Through our voices, we can create change. Always fight for what is right, fight for our country!

Jeremiah Banzuela.

Ptr. Jeremiah Banzuela officially ended the program as the final speaker, delivering a powerful message of faith and hope, drawing from the Word of God to guide the students spiritually. He shared the Bible verse, “1 Peter 5:7 — Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

"The purpose of this program is to decrease the probability of students here in Matlang National High School committing su***de because our school has been reported to have 3 cases of su***de. Even though there is no 100% probability of prevention, we aim to reduce it," Jean Shen Tapic, SSLG President, expressed in an exclusive interview.

Afterwards, Grade 7 students joined the Unity Dance, which was prepared by the SSLG officers, and each speaker received a certificate presented by SSLG President Tapic.

SUNGAHID REAPS SECOND PLACE IN TAEKWONDO MEN'S DIVISION LIGHT MIDDLEWEIGHT IN PROVINCIAL MEET ‘24

Jerson Sungahid, a prominent player of Matlang National High School representing Area IV, obtained second place after he bowed down to his opponent from Area 5, in Taekwondo Men's Division Light Middleweight (Category 7) during the Provincial Meet 2024 at Palo, Leyte on December 12, 2024.

On the other hand, player from Area 3 obtained the third place in the said category.

“I felt a slight regret with how the game turned out, but I still accepted my loss because I know that there will be days that you will win, and there will be days that you will not. And that's what I think a game is, because all athletes will experience loss and then they will eventually try again. As for me, I will surely take my chances next year so that I will be qualified for the EVRAA”, Sungahid expressed in an interview.

Sungahid was coached by Mrs. Amie Florendo Baldelrian.

Sungahid’s opponent from Area 5 will then represent the province of Leyte in the Eastern Visayas Region Athletic Association (EVRAA) 2024.
