Face-to-face classes at a school in Don Marcelino, Davao Occidental were suspended after an unsual incident involving around 24 of its students.

According to a report by GMA Super Radyo Davao, the principal of Corona A. Cabanilla National High School said a student had trouble breathing and was rushed to the health center around 8:30 a.m. on Monday, September 9, 2024.

After a few minutes, other students reportedly got worn out. When the teachers recited prayers, the students allegedly suddenly yelled and exhibited unusual strength.

Nora Bueno, school principal, said the students affected are in Grades seven, eight, nine, and 10.

No one was hurt and the students are already safe.

Because of the incident, the school implemented modular learning temporarily.

School administrators, barangay officials, and other stakeholders met on Tuesday, September 10, to discuss the next steps.

A blessing and prayer will be offered at the school on Wednesday.
