A school shooting in South Cotabato traces a firearm to a DepEd employee. Their child is the alleged perpetrator.

School Gun Rampage: DepEd Employee's Son Linked to Violence
FO Take · Score 10

The institutional rot in education has a new symptom: school shootings enabled by those sworn to protect students. When guns from education department employees turn up in student hands, it exposes a catastrophic failure of oversight and responsibility. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a systemic collapse. We should demand radical transparency, not convenient scapegoats. Where do we draw the line between negligence and complicity?

The strongest counter

Blaming the DepEd for an individual's actions is an overreach. Parental responsibility and stricter gun control are the primary issues, not departmental oversight.
