AT LEAST seven new vehicles were delivered by the Department of Education (DepEd) central office to Eastern Visayas as part of its service vehicles project.

Aside from the DepEd-Eastern Visayas regional office, Director Ramir Uytico identified the division offices of Samar, Catbalogan City, Maasin City, Tacloban City, Calbayog City, and Baybay City as the recipients of the new vehicles.

"I have been told that this passenger van is going to be used by the Division Office for monitoring of schools around the city. With the distance learning mode of learning we will be having for our Division Office, this certainly hastens the distribution of learning kits or modules, providing of technical assistance to schools, among others," said Tacloban City Division DRRM coordinator Crisvill Villamor.

In a statement, Villamor said their new 14-seater Toyota HiAce passenger van "provides yet another transportation option for work efficiency in the Schools Division Office."

In Catbalogan City, Schools Division Superintendent Marilyn Siao also thanked the DepEd central office for providing them a new vehicle, noting the transportation problem in the city due to the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic.

"This van shall ferry our employees to and fro the city proper," said Siao.

The new Toyota HiAce van arrived at the Catbalogan City Division on July 10, 2020.

It also went through the disinfection procedures, according to the division office.

"Special thanks is likewise accorded to the Assistant Regional Director Dr. Arnulfo Balani, Regional Director Dr. Ramir Uytico, Undersecretary Alain Pascua and most especially to DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis-Briones, who made all these possible," the Catbalogan City Division said in a separate statement.

Meanwhile, Tacloban City Division said it is also awaiting the distribution of a 4X4 pickup truck from DepEd for the Division Engineers and Division DRRM Coordinators. (SunStar Philippines)
