The Department of Education (DepEd) further emphasizes that schools will not be used as evacuation centers. In Marawi City, the provincial capitol and the Mindanao State University (MSU) will serve such purpose.
Finally, the Department reminds all sectors concerned to ensure the neutrality of schools and temporary learning spaces as zones of peace. Similarly, students, teachers, and personnel must be spared from any form of violence, intimidation, or threat.
