SUPERINTENDENT

Resources and Organizational Development, Gloria Jumamil - Mercado on March 20, 2023.

SDS Carleen S. Sedilla, CESO V was originally from the Muntinlupa City Schools Division Office. Meanwhile, Dr. Jenilyn Rose B. Corpuz, Quezon City’s Schools Division Superintendent, has been designated to the Schools Division Office of Caloocan City.

The Schools Division Superintendent was also instructed to set foot on their new posts on or before April 3, 2023, which will thus serve as their official first day in service. Additionally, they are advised to pay a courtesy call to their respective local government units before April 3 and may be accompanied by the departing SDS. SDS Sedilla made a courtesy call to Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte on April 14, 2023, according to the Quezon City Government’s Facebook post.

Meanwhile, Mayor Belmonte, Education Affairs Unit Chief Maricris Veloso, and departing SDS Jenilyn Rose Corpuz highlighted the ongoing projects to address the issues that the schools are facing in order to enhance education-related issues in the city.

Additionally stated in the same document was the expectation that DepEd Region VII Assistant Regional Director Cristito Eco would be transferred, also effective on April 3. 2023.

Samahan sa Linggwistika at Literaturang Filipino accepted the changes as the term ‘nagdarasal’ is more solemn and diverse. It is more inclusive as it does not pertain to specific religions only.

According to the memorandum, as also indicated by the locals who constitute indigenous cultural communities, as well as by members of the Muslim and Moro communities, dalangin is more spiritual and all-encompassing than dasal. According to the data the Philippine Bible Society presented, using native vocabulary whenever possible is encouraged when the Bible is being translated into various Philippine languages. The Language Study Center of the Philippine Normal University had a different viewpoint regarding the sub- ject but eventually expressed their support on OUCT’s final decision.

This directive is immediately effective upon its approval and publication on the official DepEd website. Strict compliance with the said order should be observed in accordance with Republic Act (RA) No. 1265, also known as An Act Making Flag Ceremony Compulsory in All Educational Institutions. The memorandum also reaffirmed RA 8491, known as the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines, which issues orders on the observance of flag-raising ceremonies. ‘Panatang Makabayan’ shall be recited in flag-raising ceremonies, classes, and official school programs. The revised version of the pledge is as follows.

Sta. Lucia High School conducted an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) in accordance with the DepEd Memorandum OASOPS No. 2023-077 dated April 20, 2022, with the subject on Reiteration of the Implementation of Modular Distance Learning as provided in DepEd Order No. 037, s. 2022. This was put into effect as the country is in the middle of an extreme heat wave due to the summer crisis.

SLHS Flambeau created a poll for random students of morning and afternoon classes regarding their views about the current modality of education that is being implemented. Out of 70 respondents, 47.1% preferred the newly utilized ADM. Meanwhile, 42.9% still prefer the implementation of full face-to-face classes, and the 10% abstained.

In the first week of the newly introduced ADM, according to the memorandum, face-to-face classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays for students in Grades 8 and 10, and on Wednesdays and Fridays for students in Grades 7 and 9. During the second week, Grade 10 and Grade 8 students have face-to-face classes on Monday, Wednesday, and with a shortened period on Friday while students from Grades 7 and 9 have face-to-face classes on Tuesday, Thursday, and also with a shortened period on Friday.
