Transport strike pushes NCR schools to shift to online classes

Manila Bulletin

|

September 18, 2025

Several universities and colleges in Metro Manila and nearby areas have announced a temporary shift to online classes as transport groups launched a three-day nationwide strike starting Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

- By MERLINA HERNANDO-MALIPOT

The strike, led by Manibela and PISTON, is expected to cause major disruptions in public transportation, prompting schools to ensure uninterrupted learning despite the mass protest.

In a memo issued on September 16, Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) said undergraduate and graduate classes in the Schools of Education and Learning Design, Humanities, Management, Science and Engineering, and Social Sciences would shift to online learning on September 17 and 18.

Laboratory and lecture-based classes may still opt for onsite sessions upon consultation with students, though faculty were urged to consider commuting difficulties. Ateneo's campus facilities will remain open to support online learning, with further updates to be released on September 19.

The University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman Office of the Chancellor also encouraged faculty members to switch to remote or asynchronous modes of learning from September 17 to 19, while essential services personnel must continue to report onsite.
