classrooms with proper ventilation, availability of enough supply of face masks for
children and teachers and access to handwashing or sanitation areas.
“Tiniyak naman ng inyong lingkod na ang lahat ng ito ay nakahanda na sa bawat
paaralan at ipinaabot natin sa kanila na patuloy na nakaalalay ang pamahalaang

governor said.
“Ito’y upang mapanatiling mataas ang kalidad ng edukasyon sa ating lalawigan
