DepEd Reiterates Zero Tolerance Policy on “Pay-for-Position” Schemes 

Under the strong leadership of Secretary Sonny Angara, the Department of Education firmly stands against all forms of corruption, especially in appointments, promotions, and personnel actions.

 All personnel actions must be based on merit, fitness, and transparency—not on money or influence.

 Any attempt to buy or sell positions is a serious offense and punishable under the law.

 Whistleblowers are assured of full confidentiality and protection.

 Let us work together to uphold integrity and fairness in all DepEd processes.

 Read the full memorandum and advisory. Report incidents immediately:

 NBI: 8523 8231 to 38

 PNP: 911

 DepEd Office of the Secretary: 8687 2922

The 2025 Palarong Panrehiyon celebrated sports excellence, bringing together the best student-athletes of the National Capital Region to Makati Coliseum, featuring inspiring performances and fierce competition.
Quezon City's contingent of 541 players, 84 coaches, and 19 assistants demonstrated strong will in the competition. Their hard work paid off in the form of top finishes, including Champion at the elementary level, 2nd Runner-up at the secondary level, and third overall in the tally. These victories are a testament to their rigorous training and good motivation from coaches and supporters.
The success of the Quezon City team would not have been possible without the support of coaches, school officials, parents, and the local government. Their guidance and encouragement were instrumental to the success of the athletes.
As the curtains close on this year’s Palarong Pangrehiyont, the athletes carry with them lessons of resilience and teamwork, ready to take on new challenges on the national stage.
Congratulations to the 2025 Palarong Pangrehiyon winners! Your hard work inspires the next champions.
