Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano delivers a speech during the #BrigadaEskwela at the Tibagan High School located in the disputed Barangay East Rembo on Tuesday, Aug. 15.

The Supreme Court earlier rejected Makati's appeal on its ruling which is favorable to Taguig, while the Department of Education's (DepEd) regional office in Metro Manila has already transferred the jurisdiction and management of schools within the disputed 'embo' territories to Taguig-Pateros division (MB Video by Ali Vicoy)

00:00 I heard the press of the Department of Education and I told Yusif Poa that this year,
00:11 Ma'am Eden, the Department of Education said that they will not do the things that are being given awards
00:22 to the best implementers of the Brigada Escuela because the Department of Education does not want to force
00:32 and sometimes it goes back to the solicitation instead of the volunteerism, the high life of the Brigada Escuela.
00:41 This is one thing that we are supporting.
00:44 So, in the future, I am here to inform our parents and our students, along with our teachers,
00:54 the readiness of our government of Taguig regarding the first needs of our schools.
01:03 So, what I am pointing out is that we should be the first to make the transition.
01:14 From day one, we were asked to be the transition team because the needs of our students and teachers are not to be waited for.
01:25 Even if we are not rich in the neighborhood, we are already taking care of the basic needs of our students.
01:34 So, what I want is for you to trust the leadership of the school and to trust my leadership as the Mayor of Taguig.
01:42 Let's just give it a chance.
