Classes at all levels in public and private schools are suspended on Wednesday, Sept. 28, due to the effects of Super Typhoon “Karding,” Nueva Ecija Governor Aurelio Umali announced Tuesday, Sept. 27.
In a Facebook post, Umali said electricity supply has not been fully restored in many parts of the province.
“Sapagkat hindi pa rin ganap na naibabalik ang supply ng kuryente sa maraming bahagi ng ating [lalawigan], at patuloy pa rin ang clearing operations sa mga apektadong lugar, sa rekomendasyon ng [Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office],” Umali said.
“Pinapayuhan ang lahat ng mag-aaral na manatili sa kanilang mga tahanan. Patuloy po nating ipagdasal ang mabilis na pagbangon ng mga kababayan nating nasalantala ng Bagyong #KardingPH,” he added.
Super Typhoon “Karding” left the Philippine Area of Responsibility at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 26, causing damage in several areas in Luzon and leaving at least eight persons dead.
