| '''Parents, teachers cautious as classes resume in Lanao Norte'''<br> | | '''Cebu's 3rd bridge now 87% complete'''<br> |
| LINAMON, Lanao del Norte - Face-to-face (F2F) classes at the Napo Elementary School (NES) here started Monday inside its newly painted buildings that pretty much looked the same as in previous school years, except for the colorful makeshift cubicles now installed in each student's tables that are meant to protect them from the coronavirus disease 2019. The mini cubicles, made of wood and plastic, made sure students will be separated from one another throughout the three- to four-hour class. A group of mothers waited for their children outside the NES as they were barred entry from the school grounds due to a F2F policy by the Department of Education (DepEd) that allows only school staff and students inside the school premises.
