EDUCATION 2014
A Year End Report

2. The City Government of
Cagayan de Oro, under the helm of
Mayor Oscar Moreno, has identified
Education as one vital component in
the Eight-Point Agenda of the present
administration.
“Education is the ‘great equalizer’ –
empowering the underprivileged and
alleviating them from their marginalized
conditions.”

3. Recognizing that immediate action must be taken to address the challenges
in the local education landscape, the Mayor issued Executive Order No. 191-13,
which reorganized and expanded the Cagayan de Oro City Local School Board,
shortly after assuming office in 2013.

4. Mayor Moreno believes in the greater power of collaboration and cooperation
between the City Government and its stakeholders, thus investing effort in reaching
out and building bridges with the barangays, private sector, civic societies and non-
profit organizations, youth and student groups, and the constituency as a whole.
In over a year as Chief Executive, partnerships and alliances were forged
between the City Government and the stakeholders – cemented by a shared goal of
achieving holistic growth, and motivating improvement of education among children.

5. The partnership of the City Government and Synergeia Foundation, Inc. made possible
the gathering of all identified stakeholders in one venue through the conduct of the
Education Summit which provided a setting conducive for interaction and discussion
between the stakeholders.
A very first in the city, the EDUCATION SUMMIT was held last November 16, 2013 at the
City Tourism Hall.

Government and Synergeia Foundation partnership
undoubtedly show the importance given to Education and the
contribution of each and every stakeholder in the collective
struggle for quality, world-class education. These implemented

up for execution in the coming months. Definitely, Education
remains a top priority and a clear advocacy of the Moreno
Administration.

Ayala Foundation, Inc.
February 2014
Cagayan de Oro City
Recognizing the convenience and efficiency
that come with modern-day technology, the
City joined forces with Ayala Foundation, Inc.,
among others, in bringing the Text2Teach
Program to the schools of Cagayan de Oro.
The Program is geared towards the use of
advanced mobile communications technology
in providing public elementary schools with
educational videos and lesson guides on hard-
to-teach concepts and least-learned
competencies in such subjects as English,
Mathematics, Science, and Values Education.
The AFI-spearheaded program shares the
City’s desire to encourage cooperation among
the public, private and civil society sectors at
the local and global levels.

12. TEXT2 TEACH
in partnership with
Ayala Foundation, Inc.
Seeing the competency level of education in Cagayan de Oro, Mayor Oscar Moreno
embarks on a new project with Ayala Foundation, Inc. and other alliance, aiming to equip
teachers in all 69 public elementary schools here with the international standard teaching
set by UNESCO. Text2Teach gave away various instructional materials including a 32-inch
LCD television, cellphone and SIM packs and other materials – a total of 215 complete
packages have been given to date.

Knowing fully well that the children’s
nutrition is among the very factors to
take into consideration in the holistic
approach to education, the City
Government ventured into a
partnership with Jollibee Foundation,
Inc. and launched the “Busog, Lusog,
Talino” Program.
The BLT Program is a continuous
feeding program spearheaded by the
City Government and Jollibee
Foundation, with the assistance of
various private organizations, sectors

Cagayan de Oro.

16. ABOTALAMPROGRAM
in partnership with
Dept.of Education and the National Youth
Commission
August 29, 2014
Mayor’s Office Conference Room
Cagayan de Oro City
To further reach greater lengths and cater to the Out-
of-School Youth (OSY), The City Government
committed itself in the implementation of the ABOT
ALAM Program, with the Executive Order signed by
no other than the Mayor and Dingdong Dantes,
Ambassador of National Youth Commission, in the
presence of the Local School Board, Youth
Representatives and the local media.
The program aims to ensure that no Filipino youth
will be left behind. It is another step in the effort to
reintegrate OSYs into the education system and the
database will be a tool to identify who they are, and
the possible ways to help them. Abot Alam’s goal is
to consolidate efforts among different sectors to
equip our OSYs with the needed knowledge and
skills that will enable them to go back to schoool, get
employed or go into business.

17. More than building bridges and
affirming the support, cooperation, and
contribution of the key stakeholders in
this communal movement, it is well
admitted that these efforts would not
translate to realization if we do not have
enough school buildings and classrooms
to accommodate the students. Mayor
Moreno has been mindful of this hurdle
even before assuming office, and was
eager to address this problem as soon as
he step foot as Mayor of the city.

18. Since July of 2013, the acquisition of school sites, and the construction and
rehabilitation of school building and classrooms have been aggressive and
unrelenting. These classrooms are widespread in the different barangays of the city,
and have been used since then. Now, we can cater to a wider population, thanks to the
infrastructures made available for use.

allocating the construction of classrooms, the Mayor’s priority is to address the shortage of

own classrooms in their own campus

brand new Mitsubishi Rosa 30-seater coaster – which shall cater to the transportation
needs of the youth of Cagayan de Oro. Adorned with colorful livery boasting the
City’s iconic landmarks, the coaster has been instrumental in transporting the City’s
representatives in educational tours, academic and sports-related invitations and
competitions within and outside the City.

31. Definitely, a lot more projects dedicated to Education and the Youth are being brewed
for the years to come, and we are more than excited and looking forward to making
Cagayan de Oro a landmark and a pioneer in Education.
