QUEZON CITY, Philippine--Students from schools in Loyola have different reactions regarding the suspension of classes today and yesterday.

Defense Secretary and National Disaster Coordinating Council chairman called off classes to all levels due to the high probability of heavy rain Supertyphoon Egay may cause.

Ateneo High School student Sas Pineda said the suspension of classes is convenient.

“I’m glad there are no classes,” he said. “I can rest from all the schoolwork.”

However, other students think the suspension of classes is too much.

“The suspension of classes isn’t really appropriate in some days, like yesterday (Thursday),” Ateneo College student Amor Macalalad said. “But there's nothing we can do about it since the officials decide what's best for us."

Miriam College student Steph Cuevas said she wants officials to be more accurate in determining the weather.

"The useless suspension greatly affects the academic system," she said. "I understand that the weather is unpredictable, but I hope officials would be more precise before announcing suspensions of classes."
