DepEd fast-tracks career growth; 418 newly promoted educators in Talisay City take oath

Wazzup Pilipinas!? 





TALISAY CITY, 13 March 2026 — Education Secretary Sonny Angara on Friday led the mass oath-taking of 418 newly promoted teachers and school heads in Talisay City, marking a decisive move to dismantle the long-standing bottleneck in career advancement within the Department of Education (DepEd).



The ceremony, held at the Talisay City National High School, serves as a realization of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s direct mandate to eliminate the professional stagnation that has historically plagued the country’s public school system.



The mass promotion is part of DepEd’s ongoing commitment through the Expanded Career Progression (ECP) System to process over 100,000 promotions of teachers and school heads within the year to fully revitalize the teaching profession.

"We are ensuring that our teachers receive the recognition and professional growth they deserve, as this is a cornerstone of the education reform agenda under the administration of President Bongbong Marcos," Angara said.



"The President has been very clear that by supporting our teachers’ career advancement, we are directly investing in the future of our students and the success of the Bagong Pilipinas vision."



Angara emphasized that the welfare of teachers remains a top priority to maintain a high quality of instruction in public schools.



Under Angara’s leadership, DepEd has streamlined the bureaucratic requirements for promotion, shifting from a vacancy-based system to one that actively rewards professional development and years of dedicated service.



Following the ceremony, Angara visited South City Central Elementary School in Toledo City where he inspected the newly constructed Special Education (SPED) school building and Special Science programs.



The new two-storey, four-classroom SPED school building was funded by the local government of Toledo through the Special Education Fund (SEF). South City Central Elementary School currently serves over 1,900 learners.



This reinforces the administration’s dual commitment to empowering educators and improving physical learning environments— which are both essential for improving student learning outcomes.

Isinagawa ang isang mahalagang courtesy call ng Tagapangulo ng Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF), Atty. Marites A. Barrios-Taran, noong 26 Pebrero 2026 sa tanggapan ni Hon. Emmanuel M. Abonado, DVM, Municipal Mayor sa MLang Town Hall sa MLang, Cotabato.

Kasama ni Atty. Barrios-Taran si Dr. Carmelita C. Abdurahman, Fultaym Komisyoner ng KWF, sa pagbisitang ito upang palalimin ang ugnayan ng ahensiya at lokal na pamahalaan.

Sa ginanap na pulong, tinalakay ang mga kasalukuyan at hinaharap na proyekto ng KWF sa layuning mas mapalaganap at mas mapalakas ang paggamit at pagtangkilik sa wikang Filipino sa mga komunidad. Binanggit ni Atty. Barrios-Taran ang kahalagahan ng wikang Filipino bilang susi sa pambansang pagkakakilanlan, lalo na sa panahon ng mabilis na globalisasyon na madaling malimutan ang sariling kultura at wika.

Pinuri ni Mayor Abonado ang mga adhikain ng Komisyon, at ipinahayag niya ang buong suporta ng munisipyo sa mga programa ng KWF na sumusuporta sa edukasyon at pagpapalawak ng kaalaman tungkol sa wikang Filipino. Dagdag pa niya, ang kanilang tanggapan ay handang makipagtulungan upang isulong ang mga gawain na magpapalago ng kamalayan at pagmamalasakit sa wikang pambansa.

Bukod sa usapin ng wika, tinalakay din ang potensiyal na kolaborasyon sa pagitan ng KWF at lokal na pamahalaan sa mga programa na magpapalawak ng partisipasyon ng iba't ibang sektor ng komunidad sa mga seminar, workshop, at iba pang aktibidad na may layuning mapanatili at mapagyaman ang wikang Filipino sa kabataan at malawak na populasyon.

Ang pagbisitang ito ay bahagi ng mas malawak na kampanya ng Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino upang maseguro ang aktibong papel ng wikang Filipino sa edukasyon, pamahalaan, at pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay ng mga Pilipino. Kinikilala rin ng KWF ang malaking papel ng mga lokal na pamahalaan bilang katuwang sa pagpapaigting ng mga programa sa wika at kultura sa kanilang nasasakupan.
