CebuTech Danao suspends classes after magnitude 6.7 earthquake

Cebu Technological University–Danao Campus suspended classes in all modalities effective October 1, following a magnitude 6.7 earthquake that struck off the coast of Cebu on September 30 at 9:59 PM.

The suspension, which will remain in effect until further notice, extends to all CTU campuses as the University's Planning and Development Office assesses buildings for possible damage. The decision, relayed by Campus Director Dr. Rose Mary Almacen, follows immediate action by the CTU President.

Danao City Mayor Nito Durano has also suspended all face-to-face classes at all levels in Danao City on October 1, 2025. This allows the Danao CDRRMO Rescue 211 to inspect school buildings to ensure safety before students and teachers are allowed to return.

Officials stress the need for vigilance and encourage residents to prioritize safety measures in the aftermath of the earthquake.

WORLD TOURISM DAY

The global community is celebrating World Tourism Day under the theme “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation.” This year’s focus urges a shift from recovery to reinvention, calling on governments, businesses, and travelers to embrace tourism that uplifts communities, protects ecosystems, and fosters long-term resilience. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) emphasizes that tourism must evolve into a sector that prioritizes sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation.

In the Philippines, where tourism plays a vital role in both heritage preservation and livelihood, local communities are embracing the occasion with cultural showcases, eco-tourism initiatives, and dialogues on inclusive travel. As the host of this year’s global observance, Melaka, Malaysia exemplifies the theme through its revitalized riverfront, preserved colonial architecture, and commitment to sustainable urban planning.

As the world recovers from recent global disruptions, World Tourism Day serves as a reminder that every journey, whether near or far, has the potential to uplift lives and protect the planet. It is a call to travelers, policymakers, and industry leaders to ensure that tourism remains a force for good in an ever-changing world.

FEATURE: "Bravery in Motion"

The hardest path takes the bravest steps.

So, if you are afraid of doing something, then do it scared. Because in this harsh world, when do we stop being scared anyway?

In the soft innocence of our childhood days, we are constantly afraid of the dark, thinking of the monsters under our bed.

In the quiet moments of our teenage years, we feared rejection, humiliation, and the thought of not fitting in.

And now, as we grow into the responsibilities of being an adult, our fears start to involve failure, disappointing others, and losing a part of us in the process of healing ourselves.

The list becomes endless. And so does fear.

One of the greatest lies we tell ourselves is that we’ll act when we feel ready. But if we only move when fear disappears, we may never move at all.

Think about it: the people who achieve things we admire aren’t braver because they don’t feel fear. They’re braver because they feel it, acknowledge it, and still leap.

Doing it anyway doesn’t always mean doing something extreme. Sometimes bravery is smaller, quieter:

Saying what you really feel even if your voice shakes.

Applying for the opportunity you think you’re unqualified for.

Admitting you need help.

Every act of courage, no matter how small, builds proof for yourself: I can do things even when I’m scared.

Maybe we’ll never stop being scared. Maybe life isn’t about erasing fear but about carrying it with us.

And the real question, then, is not “When will I stop being scared?” but “Will I do it anyway?”

After all, fear is not a full stop. It’s just a comma. The sentence continues.

Danao City Gov't orders 3-day class suspension over Typhoon Opong

Under Executive Order No. 063, Mayor Ramon D. Durano III suspended face-to-face classes in all levels of public and private schools in Danao City from September 25 to 27, after the city was placed under Signal No. 1 due to Typhoon Opong.

The order directs schools to shift to alternative delivery modes (ADM) as recommended by the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, which warned of possible flooding in low-lying areas and landslides in mountainous barangays.

In compliance, the Cebu Technological University (CTU) Danao Campus issued a memorandum extending its suspension of face-to-face classes for the same period.

Regular faculty members are required to log their time in and out and adhere to the prescribed work schedule until the issuance of an Executive Order suspending work, whereas part-time faculty are exempted from reporting on campus.
