MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There is a lot of debate over when the school year in the Philippines should start and end. One of the major concerns is how to spare students and teachers from the wrath of the country’s typhoon season.

Well, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT-Teachers) has the ultimate solution!

The progressive and militant national democratic mass organization of teachers, academics and other education workers is proposing to make the school year coincide with the dry season in the Philippines.

The dry season is from December to May while the rainy season is from June to November.

ACT is also proposing to re-schedule all national holidays from December to May so as not to interrupt any school classes. That could mean changing the Christmas season from September 1 to November 30.

We tried to reach out to singer Jose Mari Chan for comment but he is still in hiding. At least until September 1st.
