According to DepEd Undersecretary and spokesperson Michael Poa, the P150 million will be used to collect information on illegal recruitment in academic institutions and put a stop to such activities.
Asked whether such supposed activities were occuring at such an alarming rate that it warranted such funds, Poa said that these things were happening. “Basically, itong pondo na ito ay gagamitin natin really for the welfare of our learners and teachers ‘pag dating sa seguridad nila , and peace and order in our schools,” Poa said.
“Part naman ng mandato ng DepEd na pangalagaan ang ating mga guro at ang ating mga learners, that is why tayo naman ay nararapat na magkaroon ng ganyang pondo para rin po mas matulungan natin ang mga national authorities natin pag dating sa mga bagay that poses threats against our learners and teachers,” he added.
In the same interview, Poa also responded to groups saying that the proposed confidential funds could instead be used for other programs of the DepEd, such as additional classrooms, schools, and teachers across the country.
