OLONGAPO CITY — Another school in this city adjusted its class schedules due to the prevailing extremely hot weather.

The Olongapo City Elementary School (OCES) began on Wednesday, April 3, its shift to alternative delivery mode (ADM) to ease the discomfort being experienced by its students due to the rising heat index in the city.

With ADM, students will only attend in-person classes in the morning and continue their classroom tasks at home in the afternoon.
