LEGAZPI CITY, Albay — Local government units and universities in Albay have suspended classes scheduled for Monday (July 24) due to the transport strike set to be staged on the same day in the Bicol region and set to coincide with the second State of the Nation Address of President Rodrigo Duterte. The local governments of Legazpi City, Tabaco City and Sto. Domingo town suspended classes in all levels in private and public schools on Sunday night. Classes in all levels are also suspended in Aquinas University of Legazpi, Divine Word College of Legazpi, and Bicol University (BU). “This is to tell the administration that the modernization program (in transport) affects small operators, drivers and commuters,” Rescovilla said.
