1 teacher died from hypertensive cardiovascular disease and another from aneurysm in Iloilo, not heatstroke, according to DepEd.
DepEd denies report of two teachers dying from heatstroke in Iloilo. Official records state one teacher died from hypertensive cardiovascular disease in February, and another from aneurysm in March, both at home. DepEd criticizes sensationalized reporting and emphasizes the need for accurate information as thousands of schools in the Philippines suspended in-person classes due to high temperatures.
