A wave of chaos swept through the Philippines as a three-day transport strike and scorching heat forced the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) to deploy all available vehicles to assist affected commuters. In response to the strike, the Department of Education (DepEd) suspended face-to-face classes in all public schools for two days, citing the extreme heat and nationwide jeepney strike as reasons. Amid the turmoil, a local transport group in Cebu decided to skip the strike for the second time, opting instead to plan a rally against the ongoing transportation issues.
As tensions rose, the Manila Police District (MPD) announced plans to deploy 2000 officers to maintain order during the transport strike and upcoming Labor Day festivities. To cope with the situation, DepEd ordered all public schools to switch to asynchronous classes on specific dates due to the combined challenges of extreme heat and disrupted transport services. The local government of Manila also took action by suspending face-to-face classes in response to the dangerous heat index and ongoing strike.
In parallel news, President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos extended the deadline for jeepney operators and drivers in the Philippines, granting them more time to consolidate. This move aimed to address the issues leading to the nationwide transport strikes and offer a temporary reprieve amidst the chaos. Despite the challenges, the Department of Education remained vigilant, instructing public schools to hold online classes in asynchronous mode on designated days, ensuring continuous learning despite the disruptions.
