MANILA, Philippines — Public schools in Pasig will not suspend their classes while blended learning is still in effect during the COVID-19 crisis, the local government said Thursday.

“While we are in blended/distance learning, there is NO Suspension of Classes for public schools. Dahil hindi naman lalabas ng bahay ang mga mag-aaral at di rin strict sa online attendance. (Because students will not leave their houses and there is strict online attendance.),” Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto wrote in a tweet.
