No graduation rites nationwide amid COVID-19 situation — DepEd chief Briones

from the DepEd FB

Graduating classes across the country will have to skip the traditional commencement exercises this year as the country continues to grapple with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Education Secretary Leonor Briones said Monday.

"Wala munang graduation ceremonies kasi hindi naman puwede talaga lalo na sa Luzon. Sa Visayas and Mindanao maraming local government ang nag-declare din ng lockdown, so dini-discourage na 'yun," Briones said in an interview on Dobol B sa News TV.

"Pero makuha nila 'yung mga record nila sa school, makuha nila yung certificate nila but not necessarily magkita-kita 'yung mga lola, mga parent at mga teacher," she added.

Briones said consultations with parents and other stakeholders are being conducted regarding the opening of the upcoming school year.

"Mayroong iba gusto nila i-move to July or August ang enrollment pero ang ano namin diyan, kung i-move 'yan, permanente na 'yang i-move talaga," she added.

Further, the DepEd chief said the department is intensifying its efforts in making online classes available to more learners in the country. — Dona Magsino/RSJ, GMA News

In a recent “60 Minutes” program of the American TV network CBS, she said: “The situation in Manila is far worse than any war zone that I’ve been in.

We’ve been living through three years of this kind of hell.” For somebody who pontificates in detail how to act in a war zone, Ressa was never a war correspondent To bolster her credibility, the “60 Minutes” interviewer, Bill Whitaker, even exaggerated Ressa’s background as a “war correspondent.” In Whitaker’s very first statement in his in troduction to his interview, he says, “For more than 30 years, Filipino journalist Maria Ressa has risked her life in w

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte (KING RODRIGUEZ/PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO/ MANILA BULLETIN) The President said on Tuesday he prefers the installation of a revolutionary government rather than to declare martial law or support a military-led coup if he cannot complete his six-year term. “You know, I said if I do not make it, huwag ninyong bitawan ito (Do not drop this). I’m not saying you initiate something like coup d’état. Huwag, kasi hindi na ‘yan tanggap ng Pilipino, eh (Don’t do that because Filipinos don’t accept that anymore),” he said at the oath-taking ceremony of newly promoted fire, jail, and coast guard officials in Malacañang. “If you want an outright…huwag martial law (not martial law). Mag-revolutionary government ka na lang. Diretso na. (It’s better to install a revolutionary government. It’s direct.) Tapos (then) you start to correct everything,” he added. The President made the remarks after discussing anew his resolve to run after those behind the controver

Photo from Business Insider By 2050, the world is likely to have changed drastically from what we know now, and the planet's economic and financial landscape will be no exception. A report from professional services giant PwC looks at which economies around the world will be the biggest and most powerful in 33 years time. The report, titled "The long view: how will the global economic order change by 2050?" ranked 32 countries by their projected global gross domestic product by purchasing power parity.
