SANTA MAGDALENA, Sorsogon — Classes and work in Sorsogon province will resume on Monday, Nov. 18, after the provincial government lifted the suspension when the weather improved after Super Typhoon “Pepito” (international name: Man–yi) left Bicol on Sunday, Nov. 17.
In an advisory, Governor Edwin Hamor declared the resumption of classes in both public and private schools, citing that “Pepito’s (effects in the province) have weakened.”
“There is no imperil or threat (anymore) to the community and to the people of Sorsogon,” Hamor stressed in the advisory.
Work suspension for both government agencies and private companies across the province has also been lifted, but their heads can exercise their own discretion on deciding whether or not they will resume their operations.
The governor encouraged the public to “remain vigilant and continue following safety guidelines,” as the provincial disaster risk reduction and management office will continue to monitor the weather.
