1-year delay in class resumption is worth 2 years of make-up classes: Pangilinan ALMOST one year since the suspension of classes at all levels due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the government needs to prepare for mass return to school by pilot-testing face-to-face classes in low-risk areas in the country, Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan said. In a co-sponsorship speech of Senate Resolution 668 Monday evening, Pangilinan said: "Isang taon na po ang nakakalipas, pero karamihan ng mga problemang hinaharap ng ating education system ay pareho pa rin hanggang ngayon. In fact, mas nadagdagan pa." "We owe it to our students, their parents, school faculty and staff, to be able to provide a safe environment to resume classes. We can only do that if we have the experience -- kung alam na natin kung ano ang epektibo, dapat, at ligtas na gawin, at kung paano ito gagawin," he said.
