Abra rocks, felt in Metro Manila
A spokesman for DepEd Atty said the quake damaged at least 164 schools. Michael Poa said.
He said temporary study spaces could be made of lightweight materials and a "tent-like" setup would save costs.
"Our field offices are actually assessing the damage, but one of the options we're exploring is setting up your temporary study space, TLS kung tawagin. Kasi parang intervened quickly siya,” Poa said in an interview.
Poa says the agency needs about 940 million pesos for repairs and reconstruction
"But these are initial assessments, which means pwede po magbago iyan 'pag pumunta na talaga your field office with the their actual engineer to check your damaged infrastructure," he added.
(This may still change when our employees and their engineers come in to physically inspect the damaged infrastructure.)
Meanwhile, Poa says the online registration process were affected in the earthquake-affected areas. However, he emphasized that remote and dropbox registration is still possible.
