TUGUEGARAO CITY — At least 54 people from 16 families were preemptively evacuated to shelters in Cagayan province on Monday evening. Tropical Storm Enteng (international name: Yagi) began to move away from the Cagayan Valley.
Reports from the Cagayan Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council said 48 evacuees came from D. Leano and Dummun villages, including 46 people or 13 families in Gattaran, two from two families in Bagunot village, Baggao, and a family of four from Santa Ana town.
In response to the storm, in-person classes from kindergarten to Grade 12, including Alternative Learning System (ALS) programs, remained suspended in Tuguegarao City and Peñablanca for public and private schools. College and graduate school classes were left to the discretion of school administrators, said Tuguegarao City Mayor Maila Ting-Que.
In Baggao, Mayor Leonard Pattung ended the class suspension earlier than planned, ordering classes in both public and private schools to resume at 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
