MANILA, Philippines - Humihingi ang Department of Education (DepEd) ng mga tsinelas at

sapatos para sa mga estudyante sa Marawi na naapektuhan ng armed conflict sa nasabing

probinsiya.
Ayon kay DepEd Sec. Leonor Briones, tinatayang nasa 20,000 mag-aaral sa mga pampublikong
paaralan sa kinder, elementary at high school sa Marawi ang na-ngangailangan ng tulong.
Sinabi ni Briones, bukod sa tsinelas at sapatos ay maaari ring mag-donate ang publiko ng ibat
ibang uri ng school kits at construction materials para muling maitayo ang mga paaralan na
nasira sa kaguluhan.
Sa rekord ng DepEd, pitong pampublikong paaralan sa Marawi ang totally damage dahil sa
nagaganap na sagupaan ng tropa ng militar at pulisya laban sa mga bandidong Maute terrorist
group.
In so far as the needs of DepEd are concerned, we are interested in desks, paint and other
construction materials. We also need shoes and slippers for the students, sabi ni Briones.
Inihayag pa ng kalihim, sa oras na matapos ang armed conflict at clearing operation sa Marawi
ay magsasagawa sila ng special Brigada Eskwela sa lugar.
Nananatiling suspendido ang klase sa Marawi City at walong distrito ng Lanao del Sur.
CEBU CITYClasses in Cebu City public schools were suspended Tuesday after a series of bomb
threats.
Dr. Bianito Dagatan, division superintendent of the Department of Education (DepEd) Cebu
City, recommended the suspension of classes to prevent panic and chaos.
At about 8:39 a.m. Tuesday, Dagatans secretary Rhea Fe Sarmiento received a phone call
informing the DepEd office that a bomb was planted in DepEd-Cebu City building located on
Imus Road.
Following the call at the DepEd office, the Mabolo Elementary and High School, Zapatera
Elementary, Lahug Elementary, Labangon Elementary, Gothong High School and Cebu City
Central School received the same threats.
Thats why we decided to suspend classes to avoid panic, said Dagatan.
Although we knew the purpose was just to sow panic we didnt take the threats for granted,
Dagatan added.
Teachers were allowed to return to DepEd-Cebu City building at 10:57 a.m. when SWAT
personnel scour the whole building and didnt find a bomb or any explosive devices.
