The Department of Education has empowered school heads to cancel or suspend in-person classes and shift to “alternative delivery modes” when their health and safety are endangered.
In a circular issued by Court Administrator Raul B. Villanueva, the tribunal said that trial court judges and personnel can work from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays while Saturday duty in the trial courts will be from 7:30 a.m. to 12 noon.“Executive judges shall act on petitions for bail and other urgent matters on Saturday afternoons after 12 noon and on Sundays, official holidays, and special days, when exceptional circumstances warrant,” Villanueva said.
Meanwhile, Bureau of Corrections Director General Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr. on Thursday directed prison officials to ensure adequate water supply for persons deprived of liberty in all penal institutions nationwide to prevent dehydration amid the scorching heat. The BuCor said a health advisory has been issued to all concerned prison and penal farm officials to ensure the implementation of health programs, services, and provision of medicines, including supplements, to prevent diseases and other health conditions among PDLs.
BJMP chief Ruel Rivera said the bureau has coordinated with the Department of Health and hired more doctors to address the problem. He also said jail nurses are on duty to attend to the concerns of the PDLs all day.
