Ayon kay PNP Officer-in-Charge, Police Lieutenant General Edgar Alan O. Okubo, “Bawat alagad ng batas ay may tungkuling magbigay ng inspirasyon at tiwala, mapa-online man o sa serbisyo. Ang inyong malikhaing pamamahayag ay maaaring magbigay ng inspirasyon sa komunidad at ipakita ang kabutihang ginagawa natin, ngunit ito ay dapat laging sumasalamin sa disiplina, respeto, at integridad na inaasahan sa isang tunay na pulis.”
Dagdag ni PNP Spokesperson PBGEN Randulf T. Tuaño, “Ang social media ay higit pa sa personal na plataporma; ito ay makapangyarihang paraan upang hubugin ang pananaw ng publiko. Gamitin natin ito upang magturo, mag-inspire, at ipakita ang puso ng serbisyo sa likod ng uniporme, at hindi upang ipahamak ang kredibilidad ng ating badge.”
Pinatotohanan ng PNP ang pagsuporta sa panawagan ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., na nagpapaalala sa lahat ng kawani ng gobyerno na ipakita ang integridad, disiplina, at pananagutan sa lahat ng gawaing nakikita ng publiko.
Pinapaalalahanan din ang lahat ng miyembro ng PNP na ang paglikha ng content ay hindi dapat kasangkutan ang maling paggamit ng uniporme, kagamitan, o pasilidad, livestreaming ng sensitibong operasyon, o paggawa ng political o commercial endorsements.
Hinihikayat ang paggawa ng content na informative, nakaka-inspire, nagpapalakas ng ugnayan ng pulis at komunidad, at nagpapakita ng positibong papel ng kapulisan sa pagpapanatili ng katahimikan, karapatang pantao, at kapayapaan. (PNP-PIO)

Hinimok ni Senadora Loren Legarda, ang Co-Chairperson ng Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II), at Chairperson ng Senate Committee on Higher, Technical, and Vocational Education ang mas matalim at sistematikong reporma sa Department of Education (DepEd) na mag-uugnay sa aktuwal na sitwasyon sa mga silid-aralan, at sa layunin ng pag-unlad ng bansa.
Ipinanawagan niya ito sa isinagawang sectoral review ng komisyon kasama ang mga opisyal ng DepEd.
“Education is the system that enables every other reform to work,” paliwanag ni Legarda.
“It is the mind that guides every hand that builds. From health to livelihood, from industry to defense, every pillar of progress stands on the strength of an educated people.”
Batay sa pagsusuri ng EDCOM II, binigyang-diin ni Legarda na patuloy pa ring pasan ng sistema ng edukasyon ang malalalim na suliraning pang-istruktura: may kakulangan ng humigit-kumulang 165,000 silid-aralan at tanging 30% lamang ng mga paaralan ang nasa maayos na kondisyon.
Kailangan din ng 32,916 na guro at 22,124 na principal sa buong bansa, bukod pa sa 1,338 bakanteng posisyon para sa mga school head. Bawat kawani ng Schools Division Office (SDO) ay nagsisilbi sa average na 1,237 mag-aaral at 33 paaralan, na nagpapakita ng sobrang trabaho.
Pinuri naman ni Legarda ang mga hakbang ng DepEd upang tugunan ang mga problemang ito, gaya ng paglikha ng 20,000 bagong posisyon para sa mga guro at 10,000 Administrative Officer II, pati na ang layuning One School, One Principal para gawing propesyonal ang pamumuno sa mga paaralan.
Naglabas ang DepEd ng unang Medical Allowance Guidelines, tinaasan ang Teaching Support Subsidy ng mga pribadong guro mula ₱18,000 tungong ₱24,000, at dinoble ang Teaching Supplies Allowance sa ₱10,000 sa ilalim ng Kabalikat sa Pagtuturo Act, na itinaguyod ni Legarda.
Ipinabatid din ng DepEd na kasalukuyan itong gumagawa ng 328 Child Development Centers kasama ang mga lokal na pamahalaan, at binubuo ang Project Ligtas, isang tool na nagmamapa ng mga geohazard sa paligid ng mga paaralan.
Inilunsad din ng ahensya ang Project Talino para sa data-driven partner matching, at Project SIGLA para subaybayan ang kalusugan at nutrisyon ng mga mag-aaral.
Itinulak naman ni Legarda ang pagpapatupad ng National Environmental Awareness and Education Act of 2008, na siya mismo ang may-akda, at tinanong kung paano itinuturo ang kultura at kasaysayan sa mga paaralan.
Tiniyak ng DepEd na nakapaloob sa kurikulum ang environmental literacy at cultural identity.
Binigyang-diin rdn ni Legarda ang pangangailangan ng tuluy-tuloy na pondo para sa Alternative Learning System (ALS) at Indigenous Peoples Education (IPED) programs.
Ayon sa ulat ng DepEd, 46% lamang ng mga ALS learner ang nakatapos noong school year 2023–2024.
“When education fails to reach the poor, the loss is not only in learning but in productivity, opportunity, and national growth,” wika ni Legarda.
Pinagtibay ng senadora na layunin ng pagsusuri ng EDCOM II na ihanay ang pamamahala sa edukasyon sa nasusukat na resulta ng human development.
“Our goal is to build an education system that expands capability, reduces inequality, and prepares every learner to participate fully in national life,” giit niya.
