Bringing children to schools is safer than seeing them in malls, said an official at Nabas municipality in Aklan – one of the areas where the pilot-run for face-to-face classes has begun in PH.
Nabas Mayor James Solanoy said that he hoped that after the pilot implementation of the limited face-to-face classes educational institutes will become fully operational in the entire municipality.

He said Nabas is “a Covid-19-free community.”
The data of Department of Education- Western Visayas (DepEd-WV) has shown that 224 learners comprised 48 from Kindergarten; 64 from Grade 1; 58 from Grade II and 54 from Grade III of the 793 population of the Laserna Integrated School joining the pilot implementation.
More than a hundred of the learners for the pilot grades belong to the Indigenous Peoples community. (AW)
