00:00In his help, along with the DepEd, the President approved the budget cap for the projects of the agencies
00:06while prioritizing the government in the sector of education.
00:11The President's point is that this sector is one that should be funded.
00:16DepEd only received P737 billion from the P748 billion proposal.
00:23The fund was reduced for the creation of new school personal positions,
00:27Basic Education Facilities Fund or BEFF, and DepEd Computerization Program.
00:34According to DepEd, the lack of funds for the teachers is more harmful to the teachers' shortage.
00:40Aside from this, it will have a big impact on the construction of new schools
00:45and the distribution of new technology such as laptops and smart TVs.
