MB Daily News Update: Online classes ordered to cushion impact of transport strike


Negros Oriental Governor Ragay Degamo and five companions were killed Saturday morning right inside the Degamo family compound in a brazen display of brutality that was the latest armed attack on an elected government official in the country.

Another victim of violence, hazing victim John Matthew Salilig has been laid to rest in his hometown Zamboanga City.

Most of Metro Manila mayors, and that of nearly cities and towns, have ordered the conduct of online classes next week to spare students from the mayhem that will be caused by the strike that will be waged by transport groups opposing the phase out of traditional public utility jeepneys (PUJs).

Meanwhile, the oil slick created by the sinking of an oil tanker ship off the waters of Oriental Mindoro has expanded to 36,000 hectares of marine protected areas.

Details of these impactful stories, along with that of other major reports, are but a click away in the MB Daily News Update this Saturday afternoon, March 4, 2023.
