Hindi lamang ang mga nakatatanda at mga nagtatrabaho ang naaapektuhan ng pabago-bagong panahon at biglaang pagbuhos ng malakas na ulan. Kabilang din dito ang mga estudyante at ang LGU o Pamahalaang Lokal na siyang may kapangyarihang magsuspinde ng klase.

Pagdating sa pagsususpinde, nakakalito kung ano nga ba ang dapat sundin. Ang mga inilatag na guidelines ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon? O kaya naman ay ibabatay sa aktwal na lagay ng panahon sa bayan?

Hindi maikakaila na may mga pagkakataong hindi akma ang guidelines sa tunay na sitwasyon ng panahon dito sa atin. Kaya hindi ito nagiging madali para sa lahat, lalo na kung minsan ay nakakagulat na may anunsyo ng pagsususpinde kahit na taliwas ito sa lagay ng panahon. May mga araw na maayos ang panahon sa umaga, pero biglang bubuhos ang malakas na ulan sa tanghali. May mga pagkakataon din na binabaha na ang ibang lugar, pero wala pang anunsyo mula sa kinauukulan.

Dahil sa ganitong sitwasyon, mahalaga ang mabilis na komunikasyon at tamang impormasyon mula sa LGU at mga paaralan. Kailangan din ng pag-unawa mula sa mga magulang, g**o, at mga estudyante dahil ang kaligtasan ng bawat isa ang pangunahing layunin natin.

Kaya’t sa panahon ngayon, maging alerto tayo at maging maunawain sa anumang magiging desisyon ng kinauukulan para sa kaligtasan at kapakanan ng lahat.

Ngunit laging tatandaan: sa gitna ng ulan at kalituhan, ang kaligtasan ng lahat ang laging unang prayoridad.

As the 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲, he paved the way for Filipinos to have a language that truly represents us. Beyond politics, he fought not only for our language, but also for our people and their voices.

In remembering Quezon, we are reminded that to lead is to serve, and that to be Filipino is to take pride in who we are and the legacy we carry.
