The National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP) expressed concerns regarding the safety of the recommendation made by CHED to allow limited face-to-face classes in select schools.
“We have been clamoring for the safe resumption of classes, this is only feasible if the government presents a comprehensive medical solution to flatten the curve and to reduce the viral transmission,” NUSP National President Jandeil Roperos said.
Earlier, President Duterte approved the dry-run of limited physical classes in low-risk areas – particularly in schools catering to medical programs such as University of the Philippines-Manila, Ateneo De Manila University, and Our Lady of Fatima University.

“Kung tayo po ay magpapabaya, hindi mabubuksan ang ekonomiya. Hindi magiging MGCQ ang Metro Manila kung saan 60% ng ating GDP ay nakasalalay, eh talagang hindi tayo makakabangon. Importante po talaga – ‘Mask, Hugas, Iwas’ (If we become complacent, we cannot open the economy. Metro Manila, which accounts for 60 percent of our GDP, cannot shift to MGCQ and we cannot really recover. That’s why it’s important to wear a mask, wash hands, and maintain distance),” Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said during a televised press briefing as he cited the threat of the new and more infectious coronavirus variant.
