Limited face-to-face classes gets positive reaction from Duterte

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte expressed positive views on the proposal to implement face-to-face classes in areas with low risk of COVID-19 transmission, Malacañang said Monday.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Duterte greenlighted the pilot testing of in-person learning, albeit on a “very limited basis.”

“Nag-report po si (Education) Secretary (Leonor) Briones kay presidente at si presidente naman po ay positive ang kanyang reaction doon sa possibility na magkakaroon tayo ng pilot study on a very limited basis,” Roque said in a virtual presser.

The secretary said only 150 schools will re-open for face-to-face classes.

“Kung hindi po ako nagkakamali mga 150 schools lang po ang ating pilot dun sa mga lugar po na kakaunti talaga ang kaso ng COVID. Pero antayin natin ang pinal na desisyon,” he also said.

“Ang masasabi ko lang, positive naman po ang naging reaksyon ni presidente, provided na limited ang pilot at talaga dun sa mga lugar na mababa ang bilang ng COVID,” he added.
