Negros Oriental Gov. Manuel Sagarbarria on Friday ordered the lifting of the suspension of classes at all levels in both public and private schools across the province, citing a better projection of lower heat indices in the coming days.

The move came just two days after the governor declared the suspension of classes province-wide under Executive Order No. 24 due to extreme heat index at the time which was bordering on the tipping point to be considered “danger” as classified by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

Sagarbarria cited in his latest executive order on the lifting of the suspension the local PAGASA representative during a meeting Friday at the Capitol that “the temperature forecast for the province for the coming week and onward will be below the danger category of heat indices”.

As of 4 p.m. Friday, the heat index based on the PAGASA radar here was at 36.1 degrees Celsius.

Earlier this week, Negros Oriental was projected to reach to as high as 39 degrees Celsius in some parts of the province.

Some institutions also had sought the lifting of the suspension of classes, saying they had air conditioned classrooms as well as other measures to counter the searing temperatures. (Judy F. Partlow/PNA)
