Guico: “Suspension of work & classes should first be localized”
THERE can be no province-wide suspension of work and classes until mayors decide on their situations.
Governor Ramon Guico III clarified the provincial government’s policy during the regular flag raising ceremony held on September 4. He said suspension of work and classes should first be in the discretion of the Local Government Units (LGUs) depending on the weather situation in their localities.
“Napakalaki po ng probinsiya at hindi lahat ng lugar ng ay binabaha,” the governor said as he gave an assurance that the PDRRMO is regularly monitoring the situation that includes the water levels in dams and rivers in the province and even outside Pangasinan.
“Once we find out that there is a need to declare suspension, we will do so. Right now the LGUs (municipalities and cities) are empowered to declare suspension in their respective locality,” he stressed.
Yellow warning level is raised over Pangasinan when heavy rainfall occurs or 50-100mm of rain in one to two hours is expected. Possible flooding and landslides in flood and landslides-prone areas are likely to happen. (Pangasinan PIO/RRB)
