No classes in Cagayan province on Oct. 29 due to ‘Rosita’

Cagayan Gov. Manuel Mamba announced on Saturday the suspension of classes in all levels in his province on Monday, Oct. 29, due to the expected onslaught of Typhoon “Rosita,” internationally known as “Yutu.”

The Cagayan Provincial Information Office made the announcement in a Facebook post.

“Ito ang ipinag-uutos ngayon ni Gov. Manuel Mamba upang mailayo sa peligro ang mga estudyante at nang hindi na rin bumiyahe ang mga ito pabalik ng Tuguegarao o kung saan sila nagsisipag-aral,” the post read.

(This is the order of Gov. Manuel Mamba to keep the students away from danger and so that they would not need to go to Tueguegarao where their school is located.)
