Tiangco said he made the request as there are only two to three weeks left for the school year.

Tiangco said schools could just use the students' average grades for the past quarters as their final grades.
"[M]ay general average naman 'yung mga bata as of this time, so baka naman pwe-pwedeng kung ano 'yung general average nila, 'yun na lang ang maging grado nila," he said.

"Ang gusto ho natin is 'yung maging safe... doon tayo sa mas safe diba po? Alam niyo naiintindihan ko, importante [ang] aral, importante 'yung grado, sa isang taon meron pa'ng pag-kakataon, eh," Tiangco added.
Navotas earlier canceled classes in all levels for both public and private schools on Monday.
According to Tiangco, he will meet with DepEd-Navotas and the Navotas COVID-19 task force on Monday to determine how long the suspension will last.
However, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said that though canceling classes was within the right of the local government, it was not recommended.
"That's their own decision but as of today, we are on sub-level 1 of code red and that is not being recommended," Duque said at a press conference on Saturday.
"Ang question lang dito is, are we willing to take the risk or do we want to take precautionary measures?" he said.
"It can be a wrong decision, but I just want to be on the safe side, no? Mas importante sa akin 'yung safety ng mga bata," the mayor later added.
