The Schools Division of Iloilo formally launched the EduCARE Program on March 13, 2026, at Dumangas National High School, marking a significant milestone in the division’s continuing efforts to strengthen learners’ rights and protection, wellness, and mental health support across public schools.

EduCARE—derived from the Latin word educare, meaning to bring up, nourish, and rear, and the origin of the modern word education—serves as the umbrella program that consolidates and harmonizes all school‑based initiatives on child protection, wellness promotion, and mental health services. The program reinforces DepEd Iloilo’s commitment to nurturing not only the academic growth of learners but also their overall well‑being, resilience, and dignity.

A major highlight of the launching was the Talk Show on the Pillars of EduCARE, which emphasized the importance of multisectoral collaboration in responding to learners’ needs. Representing partner agencies were Dr. Rodney Labis of the Provincial Health Office and Mr. Don Saso, Project Development Officer of the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO). Both officials presented the services and programs of their respective offices that support learner wellness, psychosocial care, and mental health interventions in response to the EduCARE framework.

They were joined by Ms. Arianne Lapidez, Nurse‑in‑Charge and Mental Health Focal Person, who discussed school‑based mental health promotion, early identification, and referral mechanisms, and Ms. Jennifer Cubos, Project Development Officer and Learners’ Rights and Protection (LRP) Focal Person, who highlighted the implementation of learner protection policies, reporting pathways, and coordinated response systems under EduCARE. The panel discussion demonstrated how health, social welfare, mental health, and learner protection services converge under EduCARE to provide holistic, accessible, and responsive support for learners.

The launching activity was also graced by the presence of USWAG Ilonggo Party List Representative James “Jojo” Ang Jr. and 4th District Representative Dr. Ferj Biron, whose attendance affirmed strong legislative support for initiatives that promote learner protection, wellness, and mental health in schools. Their presence highlighted the importance of aligning education programs with broader government and community efforts to safeguard the well‑being of children and youth.

In her message, OIC Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Ruby Therese P. Almencion expressed her sincere appreciation to all partners and stakeholders for their unwavering support to DepEd Iloilo. She emphasized the division’s strong commitment to making schools safe, inclusive, and caring spaces, stressing that DepEd Iloilo deeply cares for its learners and that all initiatives under EduCARE are being carried out for their safety, development, and overall well‑being. Dr. Almencion reaffirmed that ensuring learner protection and wellness remains a core responsibility of the Schools Division Office.

Meanwhile, Iloilo Vice Governor Nathalie Ann Debuque, in her message of support, conveyed the Provincial Government’s commitment to the EduCARE Program. She expressed her full support for initiatives that advance learners’ rights, wellness, and mental health, and pledged to actively lobby for increased assistance and sustained support from the Provincial Government to further strengthen school‑based programs addressing the holistic needs of learners.

The EduCARE Program Launching concluded with expressions of appreciation and a call for sustained collaboration among schools, government agencies, and community partners, as DepEd Iloilo moves forward in institutionalizing EduCARE across schools in the division.

Through EduCARE, schools are envisioned to function not only as centers of academic learning but also as safe and nurturing spaces that promote care, resilience, and empowerment—reinforcing DepEd Iloilo’s identity as “a Schools Division with a Tradition of Excellence.”
