THE Makabayan bloc at the House of Representatives has filed a resolution seeking investigation on the sale of Department of Education -procured laptops in surplus shops in Cebu City and Rizal, as well as online.
The opposition bloc said some people were making profit out of it at the expense of the teachers who were supposed to be the end-users of the laptops for the benefit of the children. “Due to the non-delivery of these procured laptops, teachers were forced to shell out from their own pockets and meager salaries the buying of the laptops to cope with the online or blended learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Many teachers resorted to taking out loans just to buy their own laptops, loans for which, until now, they are still paying,” the resolution read.
The probe was conducted after SunStar Cebu reported about the laptops being sold at HMR Cebu branch on October 21, 2022."Mahalaga na maimbestigahan ito dahil kailangang-kailangan ng mga guro ang laptop sa ngayon. Nabudol na nga sila sa mga overpriced laptops na ito tapos pinarecall at ngayon naman ay pinagkakakitaan pa ng mga tiwali sa DepEd," said Castro.
