First official meeting with the DepEd Pasig Division principals and supervisors lead by Superintendent Idanan.

We discussed the "3 Cs" that will be at the center of our work in the coming 3 years --

(1) CHANGE. As I asked them to be open to changes, I shared some plans to strengthen our education system. (including a revitalized Local School Board and activation of governing councils in all schools to engage the community in policy formulation).

(2) CONTINUITY. Although a new administration naturally comes with changes, existing projects will be continued. (this includes school supplies and pending infrastructure.)

(3) CONSULTATION. Everything we do must go through a consultative process, so that we can best determine+address the needs of our students. (In the past the budget was utilized based on the mayor's approval of individual requests per school -- a system prone to patronage politics. Starting next fiscal year, let's determine needs from a whollistic perspective rooted in extensive stakeholder consultation.)

May we all work together towards a brighter future for our next generation of Pasigueños!
