DepEd, UNESCO unveil latest EFA Global Monitoring Report

The Department of Education (DepEd) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) presented the results of the 2013-2014 Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report Tuesday.

“We are talking about education not just as Filipinos but as global citizens as well,” Education Secretary Br. Armin Luistro FSC said, adding that education for all shouldn’t be an issue of competition. Luistro also  highlighted DepEd’s goal that “no Filipino youth shall be left behind in basic education.”

Ed dela Torre, co-chair of EFA committee, said that while milestones were important in education, it was also crucial to “sustain the momentum” in reaching the EFA goals.

We Say THANK YOU to the Global Pinoys!

There are almost 10 million Pinoy migrant workers that are spread out in the world. And one of them is my sister Maricor Jusay. They are considered the 'new heroes' of this  era as they contributed remittances that help raise our GDP and the economy itself. Though its hard working far from loved ones they  also long for happiness and appreciation on what they do. 

Toblerone recently launched  Thank You Global Pinoy (TYGP) as a way of extending the Thank You Day campaign to Overseas Filipinos, thanking them for the sacrifices and hard work that they do for their families and for the country.
