Hinimok ngayon ng pamahalaang lokal ng Taguig ang Makati City na i-turn-over na ang mga mahahalagang EMBO data ng sa gayon makapagsimula na sila sa anumang dapat nilang gayon.
Imbes na makipag debato sa isyu ibigay na lamang ng Makati sa kung papaano bayaran at itransfer ang mga facilities na ipinatayo ng Makati sa 14 na EMBO barangays.
“We reiterate that we heartily welcome our new constituents. We will work even harder to expand and improve the services we deliver for our new residents,” ayon kay Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano.
Umaapela ang Taguig sa Makati local government na makipag cooperate at iturn-over sa Taguig ang mga sumusunod:
*The list of Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities so we can start giving them door to door their birthday cash gifts;
*The list of residents with asthma, hypertension and diabetes so we can deliver monthly house to house their maintenance medicines;
*The list of residents who are bedridden so our health personnel can visit them regularly and provide them home care;
*The list of taxpayers so they can immediately avail of our lower tax rates;
*The streets in EMBO so motorists can enjoy the No Number Coding policy of Taguig.
Bukod dito, hinihiling din ni Mayor Cayetano na ibigay din ang data hinggil sa bilang ng mga estudyante sa bawat grade level, bilang ng city-hired school employees, mga benepisyo na ibinigay sa mga estudyante at guro at iba pang mahahalagang impormasyon para sa mga eskwelahan sa EMBO.
“Despite all the obstacles, delays, and difficulties thrown its way, Taguig is ready to extend to our new students in EMBO all the benefits that we presently give to our students not just free school supplies, uniforms and shoes, but scholarships for all (not just the top 10 percent) ranging from PHP15,000-PHP110,000 for those taking vocational, two-year or four- year courses; those taking master’s and doctorate degrees; and those reviewing for board and bar exams,” pahayag ni Mayor Cayetano.
Umapela din ang taguig sa Makati na itigil na ang pagpapalaganap ng maling impormasyon hinggil sa transition process.
Ito ay matapos mahuli si Makati City Administrator Claro Certeza na nagsisinungaling sa publiko nang ipahayag niya na ang mga opisyal ng Taguig City ay “tinanggihan ang alok mula sa Makati na ipagpatuloy ang pagbibigay ng libreng uniporme, sapatos, supply at iba pang pangangailangan sa paaralan ng humigit-kumulang 30,000 mga mag-aaral sa pampublikong paaralan” na apektado ng ang pinal na desisyon ng Korte Suprema na ibalik ang hurisdiksyon ng 10 barangay mula Makati hanggang Taguig.
“Atty. Certeza alleges that the offer was made during a meeting called by the Department of Education which was attended by both Mayors Abby Binay of Makati and Lani Cayetano of Taguig. What he deliberately fails to disclose is that he himself was not present during the meeting held on July 18,” pahayag ng Taguig LGU.
Samantala, sinabi naman ni Taguig City Administrator Atty. Sumagot si Jose Luis Montales na ang opinyon ng COA ay walang kinalaman sa isyu ng transisyon, at ang Brigada Eskwela at pagbubukas ng school year ay mga timeline na hindi maghihintay sa mga kahilingan at pre-kondisyon ng Makati.
“In the end, the DepEd agreed with Taguig’s position. Mayor Binay, realizing that closing down the schools contradicts her public and crying pronouncement, withdrew her threats and went along with the transition. Consequently, DepEd issued its Regional Memorandum Order No. 2023-735 which ordered the transfer of management and supervision of the affected public schools from the Division of Makati City to the Division of Taguig and Pateros,” pahayag ng Taguig LGU.
