00:00 Some officials are watching outside Sembo Elementary School
00:03 as the school brigade starts.
00:05 This is one of the 14 schools that will be moved to Taguig LGU,
00:09 which was once the center of Makati City.
00:11 And we have live news,
00:13 Darlene High.
00:14 Darlene, how is the situation there?
00:17 Maris, I'm here at Makati Science High School
00:25 where even if it's raining heavily,
00:27 the school brigade is still continuing.
00:29 After the announcement was made by Mayor Lanny Cayetano.
00:36 It's still about the ongoing tension
00:40 about the transfer of some schools from Makati to Taguig.
00:45 Mayor Lanny is asking for understanding and forgiveness
00:48 to all affected residents.
00:51 She said that in any transition, it's scary and scary.
00:55 But she is guaranteeing that they will be very careful
01:01 in the DepEd so that the school year will be a good one.
01:06 So that it can answer all questions.
01:11 Taguig LGU is also implementing school kits and toiletries
01:16 for students.
01:18 They say that the school year should be a priority
01:21 to be on time and good and peaceful.
01:25 They will be arranging other concerns
01:28 like if the school name will be changed.
01:31 And the concerns about the leadership
01:34 and staff of the schools.
01:36 Earlier, the school brigade started
01:39 in Sembo Elementary School.
01:41 This is one of the 14 schools that will be transferred
01:44 to Taguig LGU, which was once the center of Makati City.
01:48 Aside from the Makati Zents, there are also volunteers
01:51 who are Taguig residents.
01:52 Even the residents of Taguig Pateros DepEd.
01:56 The barangay Sembo and Makati Public Safety Department
02:00 are posted in Sembo Elementary School.
02:02 They were ordered to maintain security in the school
02:05 because there is a school brigade.
02:07 For this to continue the tension between Makati City
02:11 and Taguig LGU,
02:12 as a result of the Supreme Court's decision
02:15 to transfer the 10 barangays in Makati District
02:19 or Makati City.
02:21 Because of this, 14 public schools in Makati
02:25 will be transferred to the administration
02:27 and supervision of Taguig Pateros Schools Division
02:30 based on the DepEd NCR Memorandum Order 2023-735.
02:37 Outside of Sembo Elementary School,
02:40 there is a big poster saying
02:42 that it is a property of Makati.
02:44 As Noel Tolentino Jr.,
02:46 the Makati Zents are saddened
02:48 by the Supreme Court's decision.
02:50 He is a Makati resident and his whole family.
02:53 In fact, three generations of his family
02:57 graduated from Sembo Elementary School.
02:59 Three of his children became students there.
03:02 If he is the one to be questioned,
03:04 he does not want to leave the administration
03:06 of Makati City LGU.
03:07 He is thinking of the benefits they will receive.
03:11 Earlier this morning,
03:13 several vehicles arrived one after another
03:15 that were brought by volunteers from Taguig.
03:17 Geraldine Caldozo, a resident of Taguig,
03:21 said that she wants to help the school
03:23 to welcome the residents of Makati.
03:25 Some of the DepEd residents who arrived here
03:29 and also from Makati Science High School were also welcomed.
03:33 We want to welcome the residents of Makati
03:39 that we are like this in Taguig.
03:42 Because we are not allowed to talk about it.
03:45 They don't want to talk about it.
03:47 That's why we volunteered.
03:51 We are just praying that they will be accepted
03:55 for the benefit of the students.
03:57 We will help the school brigade
03:59 since they are our alma mater.
04:03 We will give them our in-return.
04:06 I am saddened because
04:08 it's okay that they won.
04:12 I hope they will be prepared for the benefits
04:16 that the people here will enjoy.
04:18 Even though they are here,
04:20 they are not totally like the ones in Makati.
04:24 Until now,
04:30 we are waiting for the announcement
04:32 from Makati LGU.
04:34 That's the first news here in Makati Science High School.
