During the joint Execom-Mancom meeting on Feb. 2, DepEd officials with areas under Alert Level 2 reported that the expansion phase of face-to-face will start this month.

In the National Capital Region (NCR), DepEd said that the original 28 pilot schools will resume on Feb. 9. The expansion schools, on the other hand, will “progressively start their classes” from Feb. 9 onwards.

In Region II (Cagayan Valley), DepEd said that the 12 recommended schools in SDO Batanes (which is now under Alert Level 2) are “ready to implement the expanded face-to-face classes.”

DepEd added that the Schools Division Office (SDO) is also “securing the concurrence” of the Local Chief Executives where the 12 schools are strategically located.

“Should the LGUs approve the conduct, face-to-face classes in Batanes will start next week (Feb. 7-11),” DepEd said.

Meanwhile, in Region III (Central Luzon), DepEd said that there are 106 schools in four SDOs of Bulacan that are “ready to start face-to-face classes” on Feb. 21.

In Region IV-A (CALABARZON), there are 57 schools from eight SDOs in the provinces of Rizal (21 schools) and Cavite (36 schools) that are under Alert Level 2 which are slated to participate in the expanded phase of the limited face-to-face classes.

“These schools have complied with the requirements of the SSAT and are now in the process of securing concurrence from the LGUs,” DepEd said. “Expanded face-to-face classes will start on Feb. 14, in time for the start of the third quarter,” it added.

In Region VIII (Eastern Visayas), DepEd said that in Southern Leyte and Biliran City SDOs that are in Alert Level 2, three schools of SDO Southern Leyte will start classes on Feb. 7. In Maasin City (seven schools) and Biliran City (six schools) will also kick off their face-to-face classes on Feb. 14.

DepEd said that the rest of the regions, as well as divisions in the above regions outside of those already under Alert Level 2, are “continuing their preparations for the expanded phase of face-to-face classes in anticipation of improvement in the COVID Alert Level in their respective areas.”
