Ateneo cancels entrance test due to ‘Mario’
MANILA, Philippines – The Ateneo De Manila University canceled its college entrance exams in Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon this weekend due to Tropical Storm “Mario.”
Rescuers use a rubber dinghy to rescue trapped residents after heavy monsoon rains spawned by tropical storm Fung-Wong flooded Marikina city, east of Manila, Philippines and most parts of the metropolis Friday, Sept. 19, 2014. Heavy rains due to a storm and the seasonal monsoon caused widespread flooding Friday in the Philippine capital and nearby provinces, shutting down schools and government offices. Local authorities reported thousands were evacuated early Friday from severely inundated communities, some under rapid-flowing flood waters more than neck high. AP
In its official Facebook account, Ateneo said the entrance test in the Visayas and Mindanao will still push through as scheduled.
“Due to inclement weather, the Ateneo College Entrance Test (Acet) in Metro Manila and all testing centers in Luzon this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) will be postponed. The announcement of the new test schedule will be made next week. The Acet in the Visayas and Mindanao will push through as scheduled,” the Facebook page said.
