CBS President James Christian T. Dee delivers a message for the teachers

Pinapayuhan naman ang mga magulang na huwag munang hayaang makihalubilo sa iba ang mga batang may lagnat at huwag na munang papasukin sa klase. “Kailangang mapangalagaan natin ang bawat isa -- lalo na ang mga kabataan -- dahil magkakasama na sa isang silid ang mga bakunado at hindi bakunado,” paliwanag ng nars.
