MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Education central office took over authority of 14 public schools located in the Enlisted Men’s Barrio barangays in Taguig City according to memorandum No. 23-2023 released on Wednesday, August 16.
It was no less than Vice President Sara Duterte, in her capacity as concurrent DepEd secretary, who signed the memorandum, which was the latest twist in the territorial tussle between the warring neighbor cities of Makati and Taguig. DepEd’s memo Wednesday hopefully defuses the tension between the two cities. What snapped the already tense atmosphere in Fort Bonifacio’s EMBO areas was Taguig’s taking over on Monday of the public schools in the barangays.
Last August 14, Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano led the Brigada Eskwela activities in the EMBO public schools. Her actions were backed by a DepEd dated August 4, 2023, from National Captial Region Director Wilfredo Cabral which said that 14 public schools in the EMBO localities were now under the management of the Division of Taguig-Pateros. “Hence, in pursuit of protecting the best interest and welfare of our learners, teachers, and non-teaching personnel, the Office of the Secretary shall directly supervise the management and administration of all 14 schools, pending a transition plan, effective immediately,” the memo read.
