The Makati City government on Monday claimed that the Taguig City government rejected its offer to provide free school supplies to students at the EMBO schools.

According to Makati City Administrator Claro Certeza, Taguig officials rejected their offer, made during a meeting last month, to continue providing public schools across 10 barangays with free uniforms, shoes, school supplies, and other school needs, even as these barangays are transferred to Taguig's jurisdiction.
