Batanes teacher fearlessly climbs flagpole

While teachers are like real-life superheroes in many ways, one educator in Batanes is winning admiration for a feat that recalls one superhero in particular.

According to a 24 Oras report on Thursday, netizens are showering praise on teacher Carol Baro in the town of Sabtang, who climbed the flagpole at their school with a Spider-Man-like flair.

Their flag ceremony had been delayed because the rope used to raise the flag was broken, so Baro came to the rescue and strung a new cord at the top of the pole.

She said she has climbed the same flagpole before as there were no male personnel in their school.

Baro was not hurt, but she also cautioned students to not imitate her deed for their own safety. — Sherylin Untalan/BM, GMA Integrated News
