The Department of Education (DepEd) Schools Division of Davao City issues an apology over the “inappropriate behavior” of several students during President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s visit to the Calinan district on July 28. According to DepEd, the incident involves students who displayed conduct described as not aligned with expected school values of respect, discipline, and responsibility. DepEd says it regrets the incident and assures the public that such behavior is not tolerated. The division also states that the administration of Calinan National High School, along with its School Child Protection Committee, conducts an investigation shortly after the visit, on July 30. The apology statement is released on Aug. 4, about a week after the incident. Separate reporting characterizes the behavior as students heckling Marcos during the visit, while DepEd frames it more broadly as inappropriate behavior. Both accounts indicate that DepEd responds through an internal review and communicates its apology to the public.
