Senator Sherwin Gatchalian on Wednesday urged the Duterte government to accept ABS-CBN’s offer to use its transmission network and educational programs for the Department of Education’s (DepEd) learning continuity plan (LCP).
Gatchalian said doing so would help assist millions of households and students that will utilize DepEd’s blended learning modalities as they adjust to the ‘new normal’ when classes opens on Aug. 24.
President Duterte, in his fifth State of the Nation Address , said television frequencies reverting to the government will be used to provide uninterrupted quality education amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to distance learning. However, the Senate basic education, arts and culture head said the government will face fewer hurdles in the broadcast of educational programs if it utilizes ABS-CBN’s transmission network.
