President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Education Secretary Sonny Angara led the nationwide distribution of over 231,000 laptops for public school teachers under the Department of Education’s Computerization Program.
Marcos said the initiative aims to provide teachers with the necessary tools and reduce the burden of using their personal money to purchase computers.
The laptop rollout includes 172,654 MacBook Neo units and 62,717 Windows-based devices, with deliveries expected to be completed by March 2027.
DepEd also partnered with Apple and the National Educators Academy of the Philippines to provide technology training for teachers.
Marcos also led the oath-taking of over 5,200 newly promoted DepEd personnel and school heads and 234 newly hired school counselor associates.
