00:00Almost Php 400,000 worth of illegal drugs were found on a man in a buy-bust operation in Valenzuela.
00:12The suspect explained that he was only ordered to reach the parcel.
00:17James Agustin's Hati-Hati news.
00:24The 28-year-old man was immediately arrested and charged by the police.
00:29He was the target of a drug buy-bust operation in the barangay of Valenzuela City.
00:33The suspect was bought by the police as a buyer.
00:36In an investigation, the suspect went to the place to sell illegal drugs.
00:41Our suspect is not from Valenzuela or Barangay Bancal.
00:47He is from Bulacan.
00:50This is really a boundary in Valenzuela.
00:54Most of the drugs he sells are here in Maycawayan.
01:00The suspect was able to get 58 grams of Shabu, which is worth more than Php 394,000.
01:07According to the police, some of the drug dealers are construction workers.
01:11This operation is a tip from our barangay officials.
01:18This means that he has been doing this for a long time and his area of transaction is wide.
01:26The suspect was jailed in Valenzuela City Police Station.
01:29He did not push the Shabu gate.
01:31He was only ordered by a friend to reach the item.
01:34My friend only gave me this.
01:40I didn't know it was like that.
01:42I just picked up the parcel and when it reached me,
01:46someone took it from me.
01:49You didn't know it was a drug?
01:51No, I didn't know it was a drug.
01:53The suspect was fined for filing a complaint in the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
01:58James Agustin reporting for GEMA Integrated News.
02:02We will talk about education next after the release of the second congressional commission on education or EDCOM 2.
02:11Let's talk to EDCOM Executive Director, Karol Marquee.
02:14Good morning and welcome to Balitang Halil.
02:17Good morning, Ma'am Connie, to everyone listening to us.
02:21Sir, let's start with the lack of school principals.
02:25More than half of our DepEd schools have none.
02:28What is the problem?
02:31Well, we were also surprised when we saw that data.
02:34Because we assumed that all schools should have principals.
02:38But when we looked at the data, what we found is a 90-97 policy
02:42which states that only schools with 9 teachers will have a principal.
02:47So it means that if your school is smaller, you don't have a principal in terms of the policy.
02:52Secondly, this is a local hiring.
02:55It means that if we are not able to monitor vigilantly
02:58who has requested for positions because the number of teachers has increased,
03:02we don't know what is happening on the ground at the central office of DepEd.
03:06Maybe it's the same.
03:07We need to change the policy.
03:10We need to review the policy that the Secretary-General has said they will do.
03:13And we need a system to properly monitor what needs to be done on the ground.
03:18Requesting for positions, hiring.
03:20They are really doing it.
03:22But don't they have higher requirements to be a principal?
03:27That's also one of the reasons.
03:29We saw the NQESH.
03:30We also released the NQESH in the Year 2 report.
03:33In 2016, the passing rate of NQESH was 3.3%.
03:37Imagine that.
03:38A lot of people applied and wanted to be a principal but it was low.
03:42And then in another year, it became 30%.
03:45Maybe it's important to review what is the content of this NQESH?
03:49Is this really what we need to choose a good principal?
03:52You know, when we were in Singapore,
03:54to bring them and ask them what are their practices,
03:56becoming a principal is not only for those who want to apply and pass the test.
04:01For them, it's succession planning.
04:03They recruit and look for teachers with leadership potential.
04:06Then they groom and train them to become a principal.
04:10So it's not overnight.
04:11It's not like they will suddenly get a position.
04:13And it will also be an incentive for the teachers
04:16who want to have a higher salary and position.
04:22That's what happened in the past years.
04:24Although we have a new career progression executive order
04:27and implementing rules and regulations.
04:29Now, even if you are a teacher,
04:31you can go higher and higher, almost equal to a principal
04:34while staying as a master teacher.
04:36That's also a good reform.
04:38But I hope we can fix it.
04:40Those who really want to be an expert as a teacher and a master teacher,
04:44we can help them.
04:45Meanwhile, those who really want to be leaders,
04:47they can get a position and be given training and support.
04:51Okay, let's go to the solid curriculum.
04:53What is your assessment on that?
04:55Well, you know, the solid curriculum,
04:57it has been studied for a long time,
04:59the reforms of the K-12 curriculum.
05:02We saw that it was really congested
05:04and the lessons were not finished.
05:06And the review of all those classes was really necessary.
05:10It was high time to review it.
05:12Based on the workshops that we did with teachers,
05:14because we sat that curriculum together with the teachers,
05:17the Kinder 1, 4, and 7,
05:19it seems to be better.
05:20It's not congested.
05:21The competencies are more focused.
05:23But the problem of the teachers on the ground
05:25who told us,
05:26Sir, I hope we don't start a new curriculum
05:28where the teachers are not ready for training
05:31and there is no equipment for the teachers and for the students.
05:34That is the issue that we are still saying
05:35that the problem remains in our Year 2 report
05:38because we saw that most textbooks
05:42in Grades 1, 4, and 7 are still not delivered.
05:45In fact, 35 out of 90 titles,
05:47and many subjects, many regions,
05:51there are still no books received.
05:52It's already the third quarter.
05:54Yes.
05:55It's really hard to teach if you're not equipped, right?
05:58So we really need to start there.
06:00But this, Sir,
06:01the other problem that we also see is the employability
06:05of our senior high school graduates.
06:08They say that many of them are already dropping out
06:11when they arrive at school.
06:13But this is just a senior high school, right?
06:16It's like they can't do it anymore.
06:18They're not equipped.
06:20How can we improve that?
06:22Maybe there are different interventions.
06:24First of all,
06:25if we look at the data in our Year 2 report,
06:27the labor force participation of senior high school graduates is 42%.
06:31It means that most senior high school graduates
06:33are still continuing at school.
06:35But when they arrive at school,
06:36most of them also drop out,
06:384 in 10 drop out.
06:40There are many reasons.
06:42First of all, our senior high school graduates,
06:44we really need to review
06:45if we are building them to be workforce ready.
06:47The industry says that work immersion is not enough.
06:50They are not properly trained
06:52so that when they graduate
06:54and apply to the industry,
06:56they will be able to fulfill
06:58the tasks that will be given to them.
07:00Second, we see in the data
07:02that even high school graduates
07:04or even college graduates,
07:0530% are almost not functionally literate.
07:08It means that they can read sentences,
07:11but they don't fully understand what it means.
07:13Now, that's a real cause of concern,
07:15both in terms of employability,
07:17because how useful will you be in your organization
07:20if you don't understand?
07:21And second, even in terms of studying,
07:23because how will you pick up very complex lessons in college
07:26if you cannot comprehend sentences?
07:28That's right.
07:29And speaking of which,
07:30in terms of reading comprehension
07:32and all that that you mentioned,
07:34can we base it on the fact
07:36that our educational system in the Philippines
07:39has been left behind
07:40compared to our neighboring countries here in Asia?
07:42Yes. You know, the issue of functional literacy and numeracy
07:45is not unique to the Philippines,
07:46but our problem is a bit deeper
07:48because our figures are worse
07:50when it comes to those students that don't have it.
07:53Now, we really need to focus on it
07:56because what we're saying in the Year 2 report,
07:58even if we perfect senior high school,
08:00even if we have free higher education,
08:02if the foundational skills are weak,
08:04the whole house will collapse
08:06if the house is broken
08:08because the foundation is not in order.
08:10So before we do anything else,
08:12we really need to go through the fund,
08:14the time, and the government's program
08:16so that the students in Grade 3
08:19can read, add, and multiply
08:22because we see a lot of high school graduates
08:25who still can't do these things.
08:27I hope we can catch up with this quickly.
08:30I hope so.
08:31Alright, thank you very much.
08:32Thank you very much, too.
08:34That was Edcom 2 Executive Director, Dr. Karol Yee.
