DAVAO CITY - Authorities look at the closure of the Salugpungan Schools a victory for the Indigenous Peoples.
Speaking at the AFP-PNP Press Corps Briefing, Captain Jerry Lamosao, spokesperson of the 10th Infantry Division said the closing of the 55 schools of the Salugpungan Ta Tano Igkanugon following the investigation of the committee by the Department of Education in Davao Region only signifies the appreciation of facts that these IP schools were not really after for the welfare of the IPs but as a source of funding of IP cadres for the communist movement.
He said the IPs can now have the reason to pursue education in schools set by the Department of Education.
Lamosao said the military is monitoring if the Salugpungan schools complied the order which was issued yesterday.
“We will not be the agency that will implement the closure of Salugpungan schools but we are watching their compliance as ordered by the Department of Education,” he said.
Police Major Jason Baria, spokesperson of the Police Regional Office XI assured the security of public school teachers in the hinterlands particularly in Talaingod, Davao del Norte.
He said ordinary people, barangay officials and police officers assigned in the area are willing to provide security for public school teachers who might be agitated with the development that they have to take over the responsibilities in honing the children once handled by the Salungpungan schools.
