MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education on Thursday said it will provide laptops to some 68,500 personnel, as the resumption of in-person learning for the next school year remains uncertain. It is sourced from the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act, or the Bayanihan 2 law. The education official said other financial aid from the second Bayanihan law includes: P1.2 billion for teachers' internet allowance, P200 million for DepEd TV's operations, P150 million for printed modules, and P50 million for DepEd Radio. Another crucial assistance is P300 million for subsidy and allowance to students who had been financially affected by the pandemic. "We are also waiting for other financial assistance in the proposed Bayanihan 3 law," Sevilla added.
