Rappler education reporter @bnzmagsambol sits down with Fremilyn Rabago, head of Longos Elementary School, to discuss the school's preparations and the importance of the resumption of face-to-face classes.

#RapplerTalk LIVE:
@bnzmagsambol Rabago on the advantage of Longos Elementary School to qualify for the pilot run of limited face-to-face classes: Napili kami dahil kami 'yung pinakamaliit na school at may pinakamababang bilang ng mag-aaral.

#RapplerTalk LIVE:
@bnzmagsambol Rabago: May mga magulang na nagsabing 'di na nila i-eenrol ang kanilang anak dahil nahihirapan na sila sa pag-assist sa kanilang mga anak sa kanilang modules. In-encourage pa rin namin sila dahil gagawan ng ibang paraan ng learnings. Luckily natuloy itong face-to-face classes.
