Last week, the Republic of the Philippines has been "side-swiped" by a tropical storm locally now as Egay -- also a common nickname for someone named Edgar.
Even though the storm did not hit Luzon island, heavy rains flooded most of region. Classes in all levels had been suspended for three days affecting schedules for examinations.
What will happen to the students? They will have to put up to make up classes often scheduled during weekends. Or stay in school longer that those from other provinces to complete the minimum number of days required for learning.
This can also mean cramming lessons to meet the scheduled periodical exams!
Aside from that, the public works office will have to spend some time and money to repair damaged roads and other infrastructure. The education department will also spend some for damaged school properties. And the affected families will share time with students on the use of the classrooms since the schools are often used as evacuation centers.
Well, as they say, when it rains, it pours!
