According to Sandra Aguinaldo's report on "24 Oras", at least 56 students and 12 teachers were taken to the clinic due to excessive heat on Thursday.“Nagdagdag po ng mga electric fan pero parang hindi po kasi siya sapat. Kasi merong rooms na kung saan yun mga bubong doon, halimbawa, may bubong dito sa kabilang school naabsorb po siguro yung init pumapasok sa loob ng classroom,” assistant principal Dr. Cynthia Abella said.
The school said they requested the Department of Education to suspend the face-to-face classes after several students, teachers, and staff were brought to the clinic. They were allowed to have two days of online classes, two days of face-to-face classes, and a half-day class in a week starting May 2.

Officials of Barangay 201 said that their ambulance was on standby near the school in case of emergency.and shift to modular distance learning due to extreme heat and power outages being experienced in several parts of the country.
