Bataan tops estimated SEF revenue per public school student for 2013

   With the major role being played by the local government units (LGUs) in enhancing the quality of public school education, an improvement in the LGUs own revenue collections to fund local education expenditures is crucial.

   Sadly, 7 in every10 provinces collect low local revenues to spend for education services. But for the people of Bataan, it is good to know that among the 80 provinces, our Province topped the estimated available Special Education Fund (SEF) revenue per public school student. With an estimated SEF Collection of Php 420,399,546 M for 2013, and a total of 133, 345 public school enrollees of the same year, an estimated Php 3,153.00 in SEF revenue is available per public school student.

Anti-drug summit

BALANGA CITY, Bataan  —   Hinikayat ni City Mayor  Jose Enrique Garcia III ang  publiko na makipagtulungan sa pamahalaan sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabi ng kanilang nalalaman ukol sa mga illegal drug activities sa kanilang lugar upang masugpo ang lumalalang problema sa droga.

Sa ginanap na joint anti-drug summit ng lokal na pamahalaan ng Balanga at pamahalaang panlalawigan ng Bataan, sinabi ni Garcia na mabigat na problema ang pagpigil sa paggamit ng iligal na gamot subalit kung ang lahat ay magtutulungan ay posible itong masolusyonan.

“Madalas kasi na pagdating sa isyu ng droga nahihiya tayong pag-usapan o natatakot tayong bigyan ito ng pansin.  Imbes na itago natin ang ating nalalaman, mas mabuti kung ilalantad natin ito para masolusyonan at makatulong sa isasagawang barangay clearing operations,”  ani pa nito.
