- Teddy Corpuz suggested via his tweets that class suspension announcements should be for all levels.
- Netizens expressed their mixed opinion on Corpuz’s tweets.
The Philippines is currently in its rainy season and classes have been suspended as announced by education and local governments; however, suspension of classes aren’t always for all levels–to which vocalist and host of It’s Showtime Teddy Corpuz have tweeted about his frustrations regarding class suspensions.
He expressed his disappointments on class suspensions’ limitations or exclusivity. Most of the time, classes are suspended and applicable only for pre-school and grade school students.
In his tweet, he stated that suspending classes at selected levels is like a confusing joke.
Isang malaking kalukohan talaga yung pre school & elementary Lng ang walang pasok pero high school & college Meron. Para nyong sinabi “kaya nyo na yang baha, traffic at ulan high school & college kids! Pwede ba pag walang pasok ang isa lahat Wala na din para standard d nkakalito.
Pag walang pasok ang isang level dapat lahat ng level Wala na ding pasok! Ano, water proof yung iba?
Corpuz also tweeted three benefits of announcing the suspension of classes all at once.
Ayaw nyo yun masaya lahat pag walang pasok ang all levels.
1. Masaya ang mga parents Di sila maghahatid sundo, walang baon.
2. Masaya mga kids kasi they get to chill and have a break from their stressful sked at school.
3. Wala masyado traffic
His tweets drew mixed reactions from Netizens. A Twitter user stated that it’s unfair because while others are safe in their own homes, some needed to travel long distances despite the weather, just to reach school.
tama po. kawawa naman yung ibang students.. kahet malayo, kelangan magbyahe para lang makapasok sa school.kahet lurok ang ulan. huhubels!.hikaen pa naman yung pamangkin ko.
On the other hand, someone disagreed with Corpuz’s tweets, saying that grade school students are not as mature as high school and college students.
Hindi po pwede yun. Kase hindi naman po ganun ka matured mag isip ang mga pre school at elementary students kumpara sa mga highschool at college students. Nakaka gawa kaagad ng paraan ung mga nasa nakaka tanda kumpara sa mas mga bata.
Another netizen thought about the situation of PUJ drivers wherein if there are no classes, their income for the day might be reduced.
Hindi rin. Malungkot ang mga drivers dahil di masyadong bebenta sila dahil students ang main pasahero nila pag school days. Kawawa naman sila. May pamilya silang binubuhay.
