| DepEd exec Division superintendent Licerio Napao of the Negros Oriental Department of Education said Wednesday he is saddened by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s decision to hold in abeyance the Cyber Education project. He said he would rather have the investigation on the controversial national broadband network deal with ZTE of China stop, so the country can buckle down to work, in order to improve the lot of students. Napao said the cyber education project is imperative if the country is to catch up with the latest technology in learning and enhance the skills of students. |
| ‘Mr. Palengke” consults Senator Manuel Roxas went to the Dumaguete Public Market yesterday, and held dialogs with drivers and discussed various pressing issues in the country. In his speech, Roxas reiterated his proposal to remove the value-added tax on fuel, which, he said, has greatly burdened the transport sector. Roxas said it’s about time for Malacañang to hear the plea of the transport sector. On the cheaper medicine bill, Roxas said the Senate is 90 percent in agreement and the rest lies in the generic provisions of the bill. |
