In a letter sent by the PUP Office of the Student Regent to PUP President Manuel M. Muhi on July 7, the students are appealing to suspend online synchronous classes in affected branches and campuses in Batangas, Cavite, and Laguna.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) placed Taal Volcano under Alert Level 3 on July 1 following three phreatomagmatic eruptions.
At least 5,000 residents in Batangas have left their homes and sought shelter in evacuation centers.

President Rodrigo Duterte signed into law the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 on July 3. The law took effect on July 18.
The College Editors Guild of the Philippines (CEGP) said the illegal arrest of youth activists in Zambales and a journalist from CEGP Central Luzon on May 1 showed that the anti-terror law is “an assault to press and freedom of expression.”
Twelve activists, including youth leaders and a campus journalist, were arrested for allegedly failing to maintain social distancing inside a van while on their way to a Labor Day protest.
CEGP also condemned the red-tagging of campus journalists from Kabataang Mamamahayag ng Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Philippine Collegian, SINAG, University of the Philippines Solidaridad, and Ang Pahayagang Plaridel.
