House wants ‘Honesty is the Best Policy’ posters in classrooms

House wants ‘Honesty is the Best 

Policy’ posters in classrooms

September 6, 2012 10:23am

The House of Representatives has passed a resolution urging the Department of 

Education (DepEd) to require schools to post signages bearing the quote “Honesty is the Best 

Policy” in all elementary and high school classrooms in the country.

In House Resolution 895, which was unanimously adopted Wednesday night, the House 

said the posting of these signages seeks to remind students to take the “daang matuwid” 

(straight path)—the slogan of President Benigno Aquino III’s administration.

“The signage will serve as an effective medium to promote good manners and right 

conduct and will greatly benefit the overall personality of students to become conscientious and 

upright citizens,” the resolution read.

It added that the classroom is the “best place” to place these signages because “every 

school must uphold and instill among its students” the value of honesty.

Davao Oriental Rep. Thelma Almario, who authored the resolution, meanwhile, said she 

believes honesty is “among the very important values” that should be inculcated in students.“I am just so worried that honesty is barely, or rarely used now in education and 

everything that we say and do,” Almario said in a statement.

Almario added that teachers have the responsibility to make sure that they are honing 

honest Filipino citizens.

“Those who are at the frontline, in contact with the younger generations, have to stand 

for the responsibility of carrying their lifestyle to be honest,” she added. —

Luistro warns teachers against investment scam

November 15, 2012
PRESS RELEASE
Luistro warns teachers against investment scam

The Department of Education advises the public especially its teaching and non-teaching personnel not to fall prey to high-yielding investment proposals that are most likely nothing but scams.

Education Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro FSC said that there are certain lending institutions or organizations that solicit investments from the public purportedly for a substantial return on investment.

“Offers such as faster return on investment and a higher than normal rate of return are attractive to the gullible who are more susceptible to this kind of scam,” Luistro added. For example, an investment of a certain amount will earn as high as fifty percent per week or month. This, financial experts say, is statistically impossible.

Luistro explained that one of the modus is to ask the unsuspecting teacher to deposit a certain amount to the bank and to present the deposit slip as proof of enrolment to the scheme. The teacher will then be left empty-handed.

There was an instance involving teachers at Commonwealth High School in Quezon City where they were made to invest a certain amount of money deductible from their monthly salaries. The alleged investment, they were told, has a provision for loan application. But when the teachers applied for a loan, they were denied for lack of required amount of contribution. When they asked for a refund, they were rebuffed.

“We therefore warn all DepEd personnel to be extra cautious when offered high- yielding instruments which are too good to be true because more often than not, they are untrue,” Luistro said.

PRESS RELEASE
Brigada Eskwela fetes 127 school awardees nationwide

In a massive show of support to public schools, some 4.5 million volunteers participated in this year’s Brigada Eskwela.  P1.4 billion worth of repair and construction materials was generated through the annual maintenance program.

In return, the Department of Education (DepEd) gives recognition to 127 school awardees nationwide whose effort in mobilizing the community to get involved in this year’s Brigada Eskwela is exemplary.

The awardees were chosen based on the scope of the repair and maintenance work the schools have completed, the construction materials they have generated, volunteer-man-days registered and overall impact created by the Brigada Eskwela effort on the physical improvement of the school.

“This is the least that we can do to show our “kabrigada” how much the DepEd family appreciates their contribution to make the annual Brigada Eskwela a success,” Education Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro said.

Brigada Eskwela is a school maintenance program that engages education stakeholders, both in the public and private sectors, to contribute their time, effort and resources in ensuring that public schools are ready for the June school opening.

Schools which have sustained their accomplishments for three consecutive years were elevated to the Hall of Fame status. There are currently 20 Hall of Fame school awardees.

These are: Sto. Cristo ES in Quezon City; Flora CS in Apayao; Sarrat North CS in Ilocos Norte; Cauayan City NHS in Cauayan City; Solano East CS in Nueva Vizcaya; Tiwi- Agro Industrial School in Albay; Daet CS in Camarines Norte; Sandingan NHS in Bohol Province; Don Carlos A.
