Makati City Mayor Abigail Binay on Wednesday slammed the Taguig City government for its alleged “last minute attempt” to block the distribution of school supplies in the disputed Enlisted Men’s Barrio or “embo” barangays, despite previous approval by the Department of Education .

“Namigay nga kayo ng walang written authority, wala kayong narinig sa amin. Pinapasok kayo sa loob ng eskwelahan at namigay ng inyong mga gamit ng walang problema,” Binay said. On Wednesday, Binay thanked Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Z. Duterte for approving her request to proceed with the distribution of free school supplies to over 45,000 students of 14 public elementary and high schools located in the 10 barangays.

In a letter to Binay dated August 22, 2023, DepEd Undersecretary Michael Wesley Poa officially conveyed the department’s approval of her request, which includes the use of school facilities in the distribution of the supplies. Under the expanded Project FREE of Makati, public school students from kinder to senior high school, including Special Education students in elementary and high school, receive school uniforms and supplies from the city.
