Marcos inspects Bulacan school for Brigada Eskwela 2025
President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. inspected Monday the ongoing school preparations at Barihan Elementary School in Malolos, Bulacan as part of the Brigada Eskwela 2025.
Together with Education Secretary Sonny Angara and son William Vincent, Marcos checked the ongoing repairs on ceilings, windows, doors, and chairs of classrooms to ensure that these are all safe and ready for students in the coming school year.
The Brigada Eskwela 2025 will run from June 9 to 13, involving teachers, parents and volunteers who are working together to prepare the public schools for the opening of classes.
Angara said the Barihan Elementary School was chosen so that the President could witness the current state of public schools.
Despite the onset of the rainy season, Angara also said the schools are ready for the opening of classes next week.
''June 16, medyo maulan na ho pero hindi kasing-lakas noong nakaraang taon, noong 2024 nagbukas tayo eh halos buong Metro Manila, buong Cavite, CALABARZON, lubog na sa ulan eh maganda na inagahan na po ng ating Pangulo 'yung pasukan natin,'' Angara told reporters.
(It's already rainy but the rains are not that heavy like last year. In 2024, when we opened classes, almost the entire Metro Manila, Cavite, and CALABARZON were submerged in water. So it's good that the President declared an earlier opening of classes.)
Meanwhile, over 300 bags filled with basic school supplies will be handed out at Barihan Elementary School on the first day of classes on June 16, 2025. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News

DepEd to raise private school teacher subsidy to P24,000 by 2026
The ESC program provides financial support to participating private schools to help them retain teachers and accommodate government-funded students under the Senior High School (SHS) voucher program. File photo The Department of Education (DepEd) will increase the annual subsidy given to private school teachers under the government's Educational Service Contracting (ESC) program, raising it from P18,000 to P24,000 starting in 2026. Education Secretary Sonny Angara announced the move during the post-State of the Nation Address (SONA) discussions on Wednesday, noting that the increase is already reflected in DepEd's proposed 2026 budget. 'Matagal nang hiling ng private schools, at 'yan po ay magiging totoo na sa darating na 2026 budget,' Angara said. (This has been a long-standing request of private schools, and it will become a reality in the 2026 budget.) The ESC program, a component of the Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education (GASTPE), provides financial support to participating private schools to help them retain teachers and accommodate government-funded students under the Senior High School (SHS) voucher program. With many private schools still recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and student transfers to public schools, Angara said the government must help ensure their sustainability. 'Kailangan po natin ang tulong ng private schools. Kalahating milyon ang nag-aaral sa kanila—500,000—at binabayaran po natin 'yan. May savings pa po tayo dahil mas mura ang private school kaysa public kung minsan,' he said. (We need the help of private schools. Around half a million students are enrolled there, and we fund that. Sometimes, it's even more cost-efficient than public schools.) According to the latest COA report, the Department allocated over ?50 billion for voucher-related subsidies in 2023. The SHS voucher program allows qualified Grade 10 completers to enroll in private senior high schools with financial aid from the government. However, the voucher program has faced scrutiny in recent months after audit findings revealed ?65 million worth of payments made to 'ghost students.' DepEd has since filed civil and criminal complaints and is working to clean its beneficiary database. Angara emphasized that despite the issues, strengthening partnerships with private education providers remains essential in addressing classroom shortages, accommodating diverse learner needs, and improving the quality of education. 'If we are to meet our education targets, we must strengthen both our public and private sectors,' he added. On Tuesday, Angara announced during the launch of the QBEDP 2025–2035 that thousands of public school teachers are set to receive long-awaited promotions this year. The initiative is accompanied by several teacher-focused measures, including the doubling of the teaching supplies allowance, an increase in salary subsidies even for private school teachers, and the creation of 20,000 new teaching positions. To reduce non-teaching workload, DepEd also hired 10,000 administrative officers. Meanwhile, DepEd's new career system and support measures form part of the larger QBEDP 2025–2035, a ten-year roadmap designed to overhaul basic education in the Philippines and ensure that no teacher is overburdened and no learner is left behind. — BM, GMA Integrated News

Department of Energy fast-tracking nationwide electrification
The Department of Energy (DOE) is expediting efforts to achieve President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s goal of full nationwide electrification, especially in far-flung off-grid areas, by the end of his term in 2028. "The President mentioned electrification, particularly in remote areas where it's costly for electric cooperatives to expand. There are three approaches: first, microgrids; second, solar-powered homes; and third, continued expansion by electric cooperatives. The government is currently looking for investors for microgrid projects," Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said at the Post-State of the Nation Address (SONA) forum in San Juan City on Wednesday. "It's not just about electrification in remote areas—many homes near existing power lines remain unconnected due to permitting issues. There are ongoing discussions on how to reduce or waive application fees," Garin said. The Energy chief said the DOE and the National Electrification Administration (NEA) are working with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to reduce or waive these fees to fast-track household connections. Data from the Energy Department showed that the national household electrification level is at 94.75%, equivalent to 27.9 million households with electricity access as of December 2024. The DOE is estimating about 3.08 million households which are still needed to be electrified by 2028. Last February, the DOE said the government needs to spend at least P85 billion to provide electricity to all households in the entire Philippine archipelago. In a news release on Wednesday, the Energy Department said it will undertake a Competitive Selection Process (CSP) for Microgrid System Providers to reach geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas beyond the coverage of existing power distribution networks. Through the initiative, approximately 12,000 households in off-grid areas, located in Quezon, Camarines Norte, Palawan, Masbate, Samar, Negros Occidental, and Zamboanga del Sur, are targeted to be energized through microgrid systems (MGS), according to the DOE. Each MGS is equipped with self-contained power generation units and localized distribution networks. It comes with a solar panel, a battery-powered home system, and basic components that can power four LED bulbs, charge a mobile phone, and operate a built-in radio. These microgrid systems are designed to provide reliable and sustainable electricity in areas that existing distribution utilities (DUs) and electric cooperatives (ECs) can no longer reach. For 2025, the DOE is targeting to energize an additional 5,000 households nationwide. For households located in remote and mountainous areas that are completely inaccessible to conventional power distribution lines, the DOE said part of the solutions is the deployment of Solar Home Systems (SHS). For this year, NEA aims to bid out SHS to energize 100,000 households until the first quarter of 2026. Similarly, NEA will conduct early procurement for 54,000 SHS for its target household energization in 2026, benefitting a total of 154,000 households for the next two years, according to the DOE. Meanwhile, the Energy Department said it is also intensifying its efforts to expand access to the government's Lifeline Rate Program—key subsidy initiative that provides electricity discounts to marginalized households. As of June 2025, around 4.5 million households have been identified by the DSWD as eligible for the Program, primarily through the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). This number is expected to increase following the President's directive to expand eligibility to include households listed under the DSWD's "Listahanan" database, a key reference in identifying poor and vulnerable sectors. Despite the high number of potential beneficiaries, only about 330,000 households, or 7.34% of the eligible 4.5 million, have registered with their respective DUs as of July 2025, the DOE said. In response, the Energy Department said it is implementing a multi-pronged approach to bridge this gap and ensure wider access to the program. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
