He said the government will exert as much effort in holding those accountable to the crimes as it does in addressing the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Our aim has always been to achieve a just and lasting peace in Mindanao, especially in areas that have long been exposed to conflict. But we will not hesitate to go after those who target innocent civilians and persons in authority,” he said.

Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar also extended sympathies and vowed justice for the victims’ bereaved families.

DepEd MisOr Prepares More Learning Materials

The Department of Education through the Division of Misamis Oriental assured the public that everything will be ready before the opening of classes on October 5, 2020.

In a Facebook Live Video Streaming by Joey G. Pelaez on August 21, 2020, Misamis Oriental Curriculum Implementation Division Chief Supervisor Dr. Erlinda G. Dael stated that the postponement of the opening of classes per DepEd Memorandum from the Executive Secretary Leonor M. Briones dated August 14, 2020 allows them to prepare more.

“The postponement of classes really gives us time to prepare more and to print more modules for our learners. As of now, the schools have printed 93% of the selflearning modules.” Chief Dael emphasized.

DepEd Misamis Oriental are now working on materials for the radio-based and TVbased instructions as means of delivering lessons. “We are preparing other materials

DepEd Misamis Oriental like scripts for radio-based instruction and we have finished and submitted to the regional office 57 scripts.

On the other hand, we have just started preparing for the

TV-based Instruction scripts,” she said.

Chief Dael added that

DepEd MisOr had already conducted orientations regarding learning modalities to the parents. Most of them are assured that their children are safer in learning at home due to the global health crisis.

In addition, while waiting for the classes, the students can access competency-based lessons in DepEd commons, an online platform containing interactive materials for learners and teachers to support distance learning modalities.

She also uttered during

Brigada Eskwela commencement sometime June 2020 that parents are advised and encouraged to have a learning nook at home under the

Division initiative “Check my Learning Space” where children can do independent study.

“With the learning space they are having at home, they can start reviewing their lessons, browsing their old notes if they have while preparing for the opening of classes,”

Chief Dael added.***
