Pag-Asa Blunder

Two Fridays ago, October 2, Pag-asa declared Metro Manila under typhoon signal number 2. As a School Administrator running a school in nearby Cavite this was alarming especially if we have to think of the welfare of our children at all times. Because of this, I declare no classes in all levels that day. My concept however of no classes did not include office staff and faculty who still had to report to work because I believe that they are already mature enough to take care of themselves.

Anyway, that day was also a day where we planned many activities in celebration of Halloween. Of course, this had to be postponed to the dismay of many students. We couldn't do anything about it because it was signal no. 2. Unfortunately, what is frustrating is the fact by 9 am in the morning the sun was up and shining over our town. I realized that had i not decided to cancel classes we would not have to go through the problem of thinking of alternative ways to make up for lost time.

I don't know but perhaps pag-asa was just wreaking from the after effects of Ondoy that all storms or typhoons nowadays should be dealt with wariness and anxiety. I do hope that someday they really learn how to predict storms accurately.
