Spokesperson Roque, however, also made mention that face-to-face classes may be considered by August in areas with low COVID-19 cases after the implementation of the vaccination program in the country.
“Sabi n’ya may awa po ang panginoon. Baka naman po pagkatapos natin malunsad ang ating vaccination program ay pupwede na tayong mag face-to-face sa Agosto. Lalong-lalo na sa mga lugar na mababa po ang COVID cases,” the Presidential Spokesperson.
