THE DAVAO Oriental Schools Division Superintendent suspended all face-to-face classes in all public institutions until further notice.
“In line with the directive of Provincial Governor Nelson L. Dayanghirang, which is to ensure the safety and welfare of learners, teachers, and personnel after the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that struck the Province of Davao Oriental with its epicenter in Manay on October 10, 2025,” the memorandum reads.
“Face-to-face classes in all public schools in the Division of Davao Oriental are hereby suspended until further notice,” it added.
Municipal engineers and building officials continue to assess the infrastructure of schools and government institutions to determine their structural integrity.
In line with this, all schools will implement blended learning or other appropriate learning delivery modalities to ensure continuity of learning.
Meanwhile, all teaching and non-teaching personnel are directed to observe a work-from-home arrangement during this period.
School heads, on the other hand, must maintain a skeleton force to attend to urgent and essential school operations, particularly those related to coordination with the assessment/safety inspection team, and submission of reports.
Face-to-face classes and regular on-site work will resume only upon issuance of clearance from the Municipal Engineering Office certifying that the school premises are structurally safe for re-occupancy.
