The Makati City government will not halt its provision of services to the 45,000 students from ‘Embo’ barangays that have been transferred to Taguig City, according to Mayor Abby Binay.

According to Binay, the distribution of school supplies to the former Makati students is part of her promise.

Binay thanked Vice President and Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sara Duterte for allowing her to distribute school supplies to the ‘Embo’ barangays.

She also defended the parents and the students who are disappointed and reacted about the transfer of 10 barangays in the city of Taguig and came to the defense of the parents who raised their eyebrows at the study materials that the local government unit of Taguig distributed.

The Makati mayor said that everyone has the freedom to voice their opinions and clearly said that the parents are obviously not happy about the matter.

It may be because the parents got used to how the Makati City government takes good care of its people by providing educational equipment, such as shoes and bags, which are very helpful to the students.
