By Jon-Rheen Dela Cruz |

Concerning the recent measures caused by the COVID-19, the Adamson University-Senior High School admin has pronounced to revoke the traditional ball for the graduating senior high school students on April 2, Thursday, and was publicly declared last April 10, Friday on their Facebook page.

It was supposed to be conducted on April 30, 2020, Thursday, at the Manila Hotel starting exactly at 4:30 in the afternoon. Only the graduating SHS students of Adamson University are expected and eligible to participate in this event.

Interested students who were to take part in this graduation ball paid a fee of two thousand and six hundred pesos (P2,600). Following the announcement of the cancellation of the event, AdU-SHS admin also confirmed that students who have already paid their fees may demand a refund on the cashier, but the exact date will be announced until further notice.

Some grade 12 students gave some of their opinions and reactions concerning the cancellation of their graduation ball. “I feel bad that SHS Graduation Ball was canceled because I was really looking forward to it that I've prepared for this” a participant said in a chat interview.

“But it would be selfish if I will not think on the other side of the coin, that there is a contagious pandemic disease vastly spreading throughout the country. Let's just be considerate and think of our safety as well” the student also added.

Basic Education Department including Senior High School has also placed certain numbers of announcements considering the ending of the school year 2019-2020. Senior High School students are only required to finish the activities left before the suspension of online classes—no more additional tasks.

Other important events such as graduation and moving up ceremonies are postponed until further notice is given.
