Department of Education Secretary Sonny Angara led relief operations in Pampanga, distributing aid to over 2,000 teachers and staff affected by recent typhoons.
He visited flood-hit schools in Masantol and Macabebe, emphasizing the importance of school safety and immediate disaster response in line with the President’s directive.
Angara also inaugurated a new stilt-type, flood-resilient school building at Masantol High School designed to protect classrooms during extreme weather and floods.
These elevated structures improve safety, ventilation, and adaptability in flood-prone areas, supporting DepEd’s goal of sustainable, climate-resilient education facilities.
The efforts highlight a whole-of-government approach to disaster preparedness, ensuring education continuity amid climate challenges.
