Gov. Aris Aumentado suspended classes in public and private schools at all levels on Thursday, Jan. 12, due to inclement weather.
He said flooding is threatening in low-lying areas and landslides in mountainous areas.
He added that the provincial government of Bohol through the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) will continue to monitor and keep the public posted on weather updates.
Boholanos have turned to social media to express their sentiments as fuel charges surged days after typhoon Odette ravaged the province.
Rice planted by farmers who risked planting in the dry cropping season despite starting late in December and January 2024, as well as rainfed areas and those not served by the irrigation systems can still be saved, if cloud seeding operations could be initiated soon.
The province commemorates the first anniversary of the onslaught of typhoon “Odette” (International name: Rai) on Friday, Dec. 16.
