Ang problema sa karamihan ng private schools, 10% lang discount sa tuition fees. Then dagdag gastos sa mga students like buying addtional devices and subscribing to faster internet. Tapos need pa mag supervise parents while ongoing ang online learning.

Dito sa school namin sa province, 40% discount sa tuition fee, nasa 90% ang enrollees.

Parang kahirao ijustify ng high tuition fee pag online learning.

ang thinking siguro ng mga school you're paying for the brand (a diploma with the school's name)

At least 10 news and public affairs shows of GNTV were affected by the layoffs, a move that insiders said stunned employees.

it's not easy to come up with a good online learning program.
and each school has to come up with multiple programs. for their multiple subjects.
and the students have to be evaluated, as well.
the entire thing needs constant vigilance.

these are teachers.
these are not computer nerds who can write complicated computer programs, half-asleep.
heh heh.

my guess is,
these schools have computer people around, to make sure everything goes well.

i remember our old teacher,
"when you go computerized, you are not making it easy for you. you are just trading one set of problems for another set of problems."

I don't see anything wrong sa pag open nila. May pinasok na silang investment, tapos na contruction ng store, malamang on the way na mga stocks, and most probably, hired na mga employees, so mas malugi sila if hindi nila ituloy pag open or push back pa nila opening date.

Besides, with our new way of life of staying more at home, especially kids and oldies, and the new norm of work and study at home, there's no better time to open a new furniture store.

Maraming papatayin na local furniture shops yan

Is there an opening date already for Ikea? It is still under construction probably 1 to 2yrs time.

Yeah. Knowing SM, mahal yan sigurado. Eventually gagayahin lang din naman ng mga local manufacturers yung ibang designs.

from the article:

A collapse in demand for imports came after the Southeast Asian country went through one of the world’s longest and strictest lockdowns to contain the coronavirus.
