THE Department of Budget and Management (DBM) released P4.5 billion to the Department of Education (DepEd) for the maintenance of classrooms and the construction of sanitation facilities, in line with the Aquino administration’s commitment to improve the quality of public education nationwide.
“This latest release will be used to cover the repair and rehabilitation of our classrooms, including the necessary construction of water sanitation facilities in elementary and secondary public schools all over the country. As we start the academic year this month, we are also moving closer to our goal of closing all educational resource gaps boosting our public education system in the process,” said Secretary of Budget and Management Florencio “Butch” Abad.
Abad reported that the P4.5 billion—of which P1.1 billion has been allotted to classroom maintenance and P3.4 billion to sanitation facilities—was charged against DepEd’s fund for the Requirement of Basic Education Facilities under the 2013 General Appropriations Act.
The P1.1 billion under the total release includes funding for classrooms in Region III (P122 million), Region IV-A (P117 million), and Region VI (P110 million).
The release also includes P3.4 billion for developing sanitation facilities in public schools nationwide, including those in Region III (P417 million), Region V (P397 million), and Region VI (P304 million).
“Besides our commitment to build more classrooms and provide enough equipment and teachers in public schools, we are also making crucial investments in the health and well-being of our students. After all, better access to clean water facilities can help ensure better hygiene and disease prevention in our campuses,” he added.
Supporting the Administration’s goal of shoring up the country’s school system, the Budget department earlier approved 61,510 new teaching positions to keep pace with the increasing demand for teachers in public elementary and secondary schools nationwide. (DBM)

Joining him will be twelve religious leaders who represent over 100,000 supporters of the peace campaign. The World Peace Seminar will be Mr. Lee’s fourth world tour and comes at the special invitation of youth groups throughout the Philippines.
Africa: Met with Ethiopian President Girma Wolde-Giorgis at his Presidential Palace to discuss ways of strengthening ongoing efforts toward the reunification of the two Koreas. He also met with South African President Jacob Zuma to discuss volunteerism’s role in achieving peace.

Last September, Lee spearheaded the World Peace Festival held at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, South Korea hosting 200,000 attendees from 200 countries under the banner of “World Peace, Light and Restoration.” Attendees of various religions participated alongside government officials from the Philippines, Ethiopia and Timor-Leste. In addition to those physically present, over 1 million viewers joined over the airwaves and Internet as international press broadcast the festivities.
As an international messenger of peace, Lee is actively making peace possible. “We all are born and live in the same world together. But during war, the youth that have never experienced life become a sacrifice. If the leaders love their country and the people of their country, they will take actions to stop war… This is the work I have set out to do and will continue until we see it.” To support the international peace movement, over 27,000 youth from 100 youth organizations representing 50 different nations marched through Seoul Olympic Park last month.

Matud pa ni BIR Commissioner Kim Henares, gihatagan na nila og igong panahon ang mga negosyante kalabot sa ipatuman nga pagbag-o sa resibo.
Gitumbok niini nga gihatagan man nila ang mga adunay negosyo hangtud Abril 30 aron pangayuon sa BIR ang bag-ong resibo o ang paghatag og ‘authority to print’.
Ubos sa BIR regulations, ang mga daang resibo magamit na lamang hangtud Hunyo 30.
Una nang nihangyo si Sergio Ortiz-Luis, presidente sa Philippine Exporters Confederation (Philexport) ug opisyal usab sa Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) nga unta mohatag pa og extension ang BIR.
Nagtuo si Ortiz-Luis nga kadaghanan sa mga negosyo sa nasud dili pa andam sa pagpatuman sa implementasyon sa Revenue Regulations No. 18-2012. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)
