Amending EDCOM II Act: Sen. Win Gatchalian, chairman of the Senate Committee on Basic Education, accepts amendments to Senate Bill No. (SBN) 2485 or the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM 2) Act. Before the start of the period of amendments Wednesday, January 26, 2022, Sen. Pia Cayetano expressed her support for the revival of the EDCOM, hoping that the EDCOM would help them navigate through the challenges that they’ve seen in the education sector. In response, Gatchalian thanked Cayetano for her support, saying he took note of the lady senator’s vision on the future of education. “During the hearing, on which Sen. Pia participated heavily and suggested a lot of concepts that we should include in the bill, one of the concepts that we included under the declaration of policy is the digital transformation of education,” Gatchalian said.
