"Mark made his mark. Tunay siyang magaling dahil ginawa niya rin ang iba na maging magaling"
The Department of Education has lost a brilliant mind and a passionate advocate for education, but his legacy will never fade. Even in his physical absence, his dreams and works will continue to ignite a fire that will propel us towards greater actions.
We remember Mark as a passionate and transformative leader, may pusong tooro. His impact will continue to inspire and motivate us to strive for excellence.
His memory will live on in our hearts, and his legacy will continue to inspire us to strive for excellence.
Rest in peace, Mark. Your impact will never be forgotten.

In Loving Memory of Mr. Mark Anthony Cabangon Sy
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mr. Mark Anthony C. Sy, former Head of the Educational Technology Unit of the Information and Communications Technology Service under the Office of the Undersecretary for Administration of the Department of Education (DepEd) Central Office, who left us on the morning of February 13, 2025.
Sir Mark, as he was affectionately known by his colleagues, was a pioneering force in the realm of educational technology. He played an instrumental role in the development and curation of open educational resources, the integration of ICT in teaching and learning, and the training of hundreds of thousands of teachers across the Philippines, notably through the Virtual In-Service Training for Teachers.
During the pandemic, Sir Mark’s vision and leadership were critical in the creation of the DepEd Commons, DepEd TV (the first television-based instruction in the country), ETUlay Online Tutorial, and countless other initiatives that continue to shape the landscape of education in the country today.
His work and legacy will always be remembered, especially by the many teachers whose lives he touched through his dedication to empowering educators and improving learning experiences. His unwavering commitment to education has left an indelible mark that will resonate for generations to come.
As we mourn his passing, we encourage everyone to take a moment of silence to honor the memory and soul of Sir Mark. Rest assured that the legacy he left will continue to inspire us all.

Under the framework of the Office of the Undersecretary of Administration’s Public Schools of the Future, the Digital Rise Program of the Department of Education aims to promote and solidify the innovation and digitization project that will support the needed requirements of the K-12 Curriculum in delivering a quality, accessible, relevant and liberating education for all. The key success of this program targets the different components and facets of skills development which will enable the technological advancement of infrastructure and infostructure. Alongside of which is the empowerment training program in using ICT effectively in any type of learning environment which is the most essential ingredient in making this transformational framework revolutionize the traditional practices of Philippine education.
The nature of education evolved from its traditional format of instruction. With the rise of technology and the development of learning tools which generally dictates the future direction of industry and future jobs, the Educational Technology Unit (ETU) is created to be the link between the curriculum and ICT that will focus on bridging the gap to further understand the complexities of the emerging pedagogy and blending the perfect technology to make the teaching and learning process effective.
The DepEd Mission statement provides a clear overview of how “Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment for effective learning to happen.” This statement, albeit unpopular to the general public, has existed since the Department’s establishment and has been providing unparalleled service to the basic education sector. This aspect of governance is the backbone that supports the whole basic education system that is the DepEd.
Under the Department Order, the Governance side of DepEd underwent a radical shift in conjunction with the K to 12 implementations on the teaching and learning process. One significant strand the DepEd Change Management Team (CMT) has recognized is the Governance and Operations strand. This strand is the core enactment of RA 9155 (Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001).
It has been noted in several CMT workshops that as the Department is continuously growing in size—with the implementation of the K to 12 curriculum—the administrative structure did not increase. Instead, with the implementation of EO No. 366, s. 2004, the organizational structure of both the Regional DepEd Offices and Schools Division Office was streamlined in terms of personnel-to-client ratio.
The Educational Technology Unit (ETU) will be instrumental in making a fast pace deliverable to support the digitization and mobilization of instructional learning materials in the Department. Likewise, it is the key element to support the alternative ICT programs in a form of Open Educational Resources (OER) to augment deliverables of supplemental lessons related to DRRM, health and wellness, youth formation, inclusive education, learners with special needs, alternative learning system, special programs, and the like.
