Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, chairman of the Senate committee on basic education, said it’s about time to move the school summer break back to April and May.
Kailangan ibalik 'yan sa dati… It’s time to bring it back, especially now that it's normal already,
Gatchalian said during a press conference on Tuesday, March 28.

He issued the statement following the reports of students being hospitalized after participating in the fire and earthquake drills in a school in Cabuyao City, Laguna.
It was due to the high heat index during the day of the drill that made the students suffer tiredness causing them to faint or lose consciousness.
Gatchalian noted that he was surprised when he heard the news, noting that the Department of Education is very strict when it comes to protocols on activities like fire and earthquake drills.
Nakita ko may mga department orders 'yan e. Of course, ‘yung mga principals natin binibigyan din natin sila ng laya para gumawa ng mga ganitong pagsasanay pero meron silang sinusundan na proseso. So nagulat lang ako na nangyari yan,
he said.
He then asked school principals to strictly follow the rules and not to put students in danger.
Mag-ingat lang dahil napakainit ‘no at 'wag tayong gagawa ng mga bagay na malalagay sa delikado ang mga bata natin, dahil ‘yung mga ganitong init, hindi natin alam kung may mga ibang sakit pa ‘yung iba d’yan baka may mangyari,
he said.
He also pointed out that during April to May, elections are always held so it’s the best time for students to go out and spend time with their families as opposed to the rainy season.
