    The DepEd expressed support for proposed bills in the House of Representatives that would establish a no-homework policy for students from kindergarten to grade 12. The DepEd said the policy would allow students to find a better balance between their academic and personal development by limiting homework on school days and eliminating it during weekends, giving students more quality time with family and friends. Two lawmakers, Representatives Escudero and Vargas, filed separate bills in August proposing to remove homework as a requirement and have all academic activities take place within school premises only.

    DepEd supports proposed


    no-homework policy
    The proposed bills will help students 'find balance between their academic development
    and personal growth' and spend time with their families, says the education department

    MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Education (DepEd) has expressed its support
    for the no-homework policy bills proposed by lawmakers at the House of
    Representatives.

    DepEd, in a statement released on Wednesday, August 28, said the measures would
    “enable learners to have more quality time with their parents, family, and friends by
    limiting the homework [and] assignment to a reasonable quantity on school days and by
    eliminating the same during weekends.”

    It said the policy would allow students to “find balance between their academic
    development and personal growth by having ample time for enjoyable activities with
    family.”

    House Deputy Speaker Evelina Escudero and Quezon City Representative Alfred
    Vargas filed separate bills in August.

    Escudero filed House Bill (HB) No. 3611, which seeks to remove homework as a
    requirement and have Kinder to Grade 12 students do academic activities solely within
    school premises.

    “Homework assignments can deprive students and parents [of] precious quality time for
    rest, relaxation, and interaction after schools hours and even on weekend,” the bill’s
    explanatory note reads.
    Duterte worries about ISIS, hopes PH will be spared

    Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 5) — President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday
    expressed concern over threats of a possible attack by the Islamic State of Iraq and
    Syria (ISIS) in the Philippines.

    “Just like Iraq, Syria, na maraming inosenteng tao ang nadadali [where many innocent
    people are affected],” Duterte said during the oathtaking of newly-appointed officials in
    Malacañang.

    The President said he hopes the Philippines will be spared from a possible ISIS attack.

    “I’m praying - I really pray, talagang lumuluhod ako sa Diyos [I am kneeling before God]
    to spare us that kind of brutality and cruelty in our country - because it will really be
    bloody,” he added.

    Foreign terrorists were reportedly being harbored by the Sulu faction of the local terror
    group Abu Sayyaf. The faction is led by Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan, the supposed ISIS
    leader in the Philippines.

    Sawadjaan was linked to the Jolo, Sulu blasts earlier in the year.

    In July, Duterte said he is preparing government troops to battle the global extremist
    group. Earlier, the President also said ISIS would not gain a foothold in the Philippines
    during his term.

    The president also warned that an ISIS attack would derail peace efforts in Mindanao.

    The administration sees the creation of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim
    Mindanao (BARMM) as a means to address the insurgency problem in the country's
    second-largest island.

    However, the President expressed concern over “sparks” that would “tend to maybe
    derail the smooth transition for the Bangsamoro people”, referring to a possible ISIS
    attack.

    Duterte said he is still trying to get Moro National Liberation Front leader Nur Misuari’s
    support for the BARMM. A breakaway faction, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, has
    already expressed approval for the newly-formed Bangsamoro government. The
    BARMM’s interim Chief Minister is MILF Chairman Al-Haj Murad Ebrahim.

    “I am praying to God that Nur Misuari will be enlightened and he’ll be able to accept
    maybe the same terms we’ve extended to Murad. It’s the only way without a breakage
    in our society,” Duterte said.
