MANILA, Philippines — For the second time this month, the Makati government has adjusted the class schedule of students due to soaring temperatures.
In an advisory on Sunday, Makati announced that morning classes would be held from 6 to 9 a.m. Afternoon classes will be from 4 to 7 p.m.
The modified class hours, which took effect yesterday, are one hour shorter than the previous schedule.
Earlier this month, Makati announced that morning classes were scheduled from 6 to 10 a.m. Afternoon classes were from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.
“The measure was part of contingencies against rising temperatures,” the advisory read.
“Everyone is encouraged to wear comfortable and light-colored clothes in class and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated,” it added.
