Beware of those making solicitation pretending to be an employee of  the Department of Education. It has come to the attention of the Office of the Secretary (OSec) that certain individuals, introducing themselves as staff of OSec, are using the Secretary's name to solicit gifts, favors, or anything of monetary value from the Department of Education's suppliers and project contractors. The general public is advised that OSec does not solicit from any individual or any organization, in adherence to the provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 6713, Sec. 7 (d), or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees. Any encounter with such malicious and unethical activities are requested to be reported to the authorities immediately. Violators will be subjected to the penalty clauses stipulated under RA 6713.

According to the Department of Education, to commemorate Filipino Values Month and to inculcate values of patriotism and good citizenship in all Filipinos, the revised Panatang Makabayan shall henceforth be used in all public and private elementary and secondary schools. The Revised Panatang Makabayan should be implemented to be recited to and by Central Office Officials and Employees, Regional Directors, Schools Division Superintendents,  Public Elementary and Secondary Schools and  Private Elementary and Secondary Schools. We should always think of the relevance of this Pledge of Loyalty to our Country to remind the students to prioritize working and serving the country before leaving abroad. Or those who are already abroad, can always come back and share their knowledge gained abroad with our countrymen. It reads : Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas, aking lupang sinilangan, tahanan ng aking lahi; kinukupkop ako at tinutulungang maging malakas, masipag at marangal. Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipin

According to the report from GMA News, there will be no classes on November 2 after all, as the Department of Education on Friday said classes in public elementary and high schools will resume November 3. This is a good news to those who will travel back to Manila from their provinces and vice versa for them to have an ample time to prepare and have some rest. In a post on its Twitter account, the DepEd cited its official calendar indicating classes will resume Nov. 3 while the semestral break starts Oct. 26. "According to DepEd 2011-2012 Official Calendar, classes in public schools will resume on Nov 3. Sembreak starts Oct 26," it said. On the other hand, it said private schools "have the discretion to schedule their own semestral breaks."
