By Joel E. Zurbano and Vince Lopez Makati City Mayor Abby Binay on Wednesday asked the Department of the Interior
Makati City Mayor Abby Binay on Wednesday asked the Department of the Interior and Local Government to intervene in a row over the control of public schools in barangays that are supposed to be turned over to Taguig City.
But in a separate statement, Abalo said the DILG’s actions in connection with the transition would cover only territorial supervision. In 2021, the Supreme Court ruled that the Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation, consisting of parcels 3 and 4, psu-2031, was part of the territory of Taguig City.On Tuesday, Binay said she would seek “clarifications” on the ownership issues of public schools affected by the Supreme Court decision.
Binay said she would also seek clarification from Vice President Sara Duterte, who is the Education secretary concurrently, of a DepEd memo transferring the management and supervision of the EMBO schools to the Division of Taguig-Pateros in the incoming school year. Mayor Laarni Cayetano said the transition team would coordinate with national agencies and all stakeholders for the speedy and orderly transfer of administration of the territory, including the so-called Inner Fort comprising of Barangays Pembo, Comembo, Cembo, South Cembo, West Rembo, East Rembo, and Pitogo.
