The Department of Education (DepEd) MIMAROPA Regional Office formally received 50 desktop computers donated by an education partner on Wednesday to ensure that learners can take online international assessments in the future.
Witnessed by Education Secretary Sonny Angara and Assistant Secretary for Operations Malcolm Garma, DepEd MIMAROPA Director Nicolas Capulong noted that the donation was like “a gift of heaven.”
Dr. Capulong also emphasized that the computer units given to their region would be vital in preparing their schools for online international assessments, including the upcoming Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) next year.
Moreover, Secretary Angara expressed his sincerest gratitude to Pilipinas Today CEO Renesar Deunida, who was the one who donated the computer units to DepEd MIMAROPA.
“Talagang hulog ng langit ito, Sir [Rene]. Kami ay taos-pusong nagpapasalamat. Maraming, maraming salamat, Sir Rene. Hindi ka nakalimot dahil si Rene, he came from humble beginnings. At alam niya ‘yong transformative power of technology,” Sec. Angara said.
Mr. Deunida, also a proud product of the public school system, likewise vowed to distribute another 50 units next month.
With more than two decades of experience in the field of technology, Mr. Deunida served as the Information Technology specialist for the United Nations, HSBC, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
