Other students have also raised concern that they will have no internet access in their hometowns especially if communities impose quarantine measures. The online classes are expected to start within the next two weeks in UPV. The survey was led by faculty member Clyde Gacayan and supported by other faculty members, employees and UPV University Student Council. Expenses for online access are expected to increase for internet cafes and mobile data, according to the survey conducted among 1,195 respondents, mostly students. Online classes should also be managed to minimize cost of going online and the use of mobile data.
