DUMAGUETE CITY โ It was a day of cheers, smiles, and hopeful conversations as Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sonny Angara set foot at Dumaguete City National High School on Saturday, bringing with him much-needed digital tools for learners and teachers.
The school grounds buzzed with excitement as Schools Division Superintendent (SDS) Edmark Ian L. Cabio and Dr. Claudio A. Sun, Jr., Principal III personally welcomed the Secretary, alongside teachers, students, and community stakeholders.
One of the high points of the visit was the turnover of 5 brand-new laptops and 10 tablets under the ConnectED Tech for All program by Her Legacy Foundation โ a timely boost for the schoolโs push toward technology-enhanced learning.
โThese laptops and tablets are not just gadgets,โ Angara said. โThey are tools that will help you explore, create, and connect to the wider world. We want to make sure every learner has the opportunity to succeed, whether inside the classroom or beyond it.โ
Angara also toured the schoolโs output display from six special programs โ Special Program in the Arts (SPA), Special Program in Science (SPS), Special Program in Foreign Language (SPFL-Korean), Special Program in Journalism (SPJ), Open HighnSchool Program (OHSP), and Special Education (SPED).
The TechVoc/TechPro Skills Display was another highlight, featuring hands-on demonstrations in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Automotive and Driving, Bakery Productions, Computer Systems Servicing (CSS), Contact Center Services (CCS), Food and Beverage Services, Food Processing, and cutting-edge 3D Printing. Students proudly explained their work, underscoring how these skills open pathways to future careers.
โSeeing your creativity and skills in action inspires me,โ the Secretary told the students. โContinue to dream big, work hard, and know that the Department is behind you every step of the way.โ
In a brief โkamustahanโ with teachers, Angara assured them that their needs and insights matter in shaping policies. โWe are here to listen. The best ideas often come from the ground, from teachers who know their students best,โ he said.
Also present during the visit were Undersecretary Atty. Peter Irving C. Corvera (Undersecretary for Senior Personnel Oversight & Head of the Procuring Entity), Trygve L. Olaivar (Undersecretary for Government Relations), Dumaguete City Mayor Manuel T. Sagarbarria, Congresswoman Maisa L. Sagarbarria, OIC-ASDS Juditha Mapue, SGOD Chief Antonieta P. Vendiola, OIC-CID Chief Joesan M. Ramos, and PTA Officials headed by Adrian B. Suela III.
