'What's the purpose of a ranking system if it is not followed?' asks Zamboanga del Norte Vice Governor Julius Napigquit.
ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE, Philippines – A local legislative inquiry over the Department of Education’s hiring process sparked tension between Zamboanga del Norte’s provincial board and the province’s schools division after its head declined to face a committee of Zamboanga del Norte lawmakers to shed light on the matter.
Provincial board member Patri Chan, the chairperson of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan’s Committee on Education, told the local legislature on Monday, April 24, that Tuballa sent a three-page letter that passed off as “arrogant, egotistic, self-centered, defensive, and humiliating.” The SP’s majority floor leader, Peter Co, disagreed with Tuballa that a provincial board inquiry into the Zamboanga del Norte Schools Division’s hiring process would be beyond the SP’s authority.
Some 1,172 applicants underwent DepEd’s ranking system, and many of them allegedly emerged as “top-ranked candidates.” A part of a letter sent to Napigquit read that “without our knowledge, our names were not included on the list of appointments.” In his letter, Tuballa also said that being the appointive authority, his “discretion… will prevail as long as the applicant possesses the minimum qualification required by law.”
