With community quarantine in place, students hilariously hold online graduation through a group chat

Nothing can stop these students from graduating — not even Metro Manila's community quarantine due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

According to a report on 24 Oras, Students from a school in Parañaque City decided to have an online graduation since their official graduation rites was postponed.

How exactly did they do that? By posting posted photos of the graduates in the group chat, including their honors and awards.

It's not exactly official, and the students know it. They only did it to spread good vibes to the graduating batch, whose  commencement exercise was scheduled on April 3, right within the month-long quarantine period. 

On Saturday, Malacañang released a set of guidelines on how government agencies can implement social distancing and community quarantine in Metro Manila.

According to the guidelines, "mass gatherings such as movie screenings, concerts, sporting events and other entertainment activities, community assemblies, and non-essential work-related gatherings shall be prohibited."

On Saturday, the DOH confirmed 13 additional COVID-19 cases in the country, bringing the total to 111. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
