Angelicum School in Iloilo</figcaption></figure></div>MANILA - The impact of the coronavirus pandemic has prompted a Catholic private school in Iloilo City to close down.Angelicum School in Iloilo (ASIL) will cease operations effective July 31, 2020, according to a notice sent to parents on May 27.&quot;The experience of the 4th Grading Period was difficult for all of us,&quot; said School Director Rev. Fr. Maximo Gatela. In the notice, Gatela said he conveyed the school&#x27;s difficulties in coping with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic to the council of parents on May 9.&quot;The sad part was that ASIL was not ready and failed miserably in delivering the services,&quot; Gatela admitted.&quot;As the situation of uncertainty continues, we cannot prolong the 4th grading experience throughout the whole school year nor keep you hanging in the air,&quot; he said.The school gave three options where parents can choose to enroll their children. These are Home Study Program of UST-Angelicum College; REAP (home study based program virtually for free); and transfer children to other school of their choice.He said the first two options are non face-to-face, which is fit during the pandemic.&quot;Your transfer documents are ready for pick-up after you have been given clearance,&quot; Gatela said.
