Heavy rain brought by the Southwest Monsoon has been persistent in the province of Ilocos Norte these past few days. Today, the college student council launched a survey among students to determine whether to postpone the midterm examination schedule or proceed with the original schedule set for tomorrow, September 2 until Friday, September 4.
While consulting the studentry on this matter amid the prevailing weather conditions is a commendable step, initiating this discussion and survey just a day before the examination brings unsettling consequences. Far from being helpful, this last-minute consultation creates unnecessary confusion and undue burden to students.
As of writing, the survey is still ongoing. At the same time, many students may have already reached their boarding houses or dormitories, may be in the middle of navigating the flooded roads, or are contemplating whether to travel back now or not. ๐ช๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐โ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐น๐ฒ, ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฝ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐โ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ต๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐

According to CBEA OIC-Dean Emil James P. Tanagon, the proposal came after the Academic Executive Committee considered the possible effects of previous class suspensions due to the bad weather on the conduct of classes.
Further, the examination schedule shall proceed as scheduled while no final decision has yet been issued. As the schedule is approved by the University and noted by CHED, changes on it will only take effect upon the issuance of an official memorandum.
According to Prof. Tanagon, in case of approval of the proposal, regular classes shall take place as scheduled provided that no class suspension is issued.
Today also marks the end of the long weekend of students which many may have utilized to prepare for the approaching examination. Despite the frustration and difficulties caused by the weather, students continued to review despite it.

With this situation at hand, the stakes are even higher for studentsโwhere instead of spending the time to review, the confusion this discussion brings takes too much of their time by thinking of what the final decision will be, which even has no definite time when it will be issued. ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐น๐, ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ.
