About Baybay City Division

The DepEd Mission

To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education where:

  • Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment.
  • Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner.
  • Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment for effective learning to happen.

Our Mandate

The present day Department of Education was mandated through Republic Act 9155, otherwise known as the Governance of Basic Education act of 2001.

The Department of Education (DepEd) formulates, implements, and coordinates policies, plans, programs and projects in the areas of formal and non-formal basic education.

History

Baybay City Division was a most welcome by-product of one visionary leader’s marvelous dream of a better and progressive Baybay. When then Congresswoman Carmen L. Cari filed a bill for the conversion of Baybay City, it irreversibly set events in motion that would totally change the municipality of Baybay, specifically the education sector.

Several months after the passage of RA 9389, an Unnumbered Regional Memorandum was issued on July 17, 2008, which laid out the order to “Commence Operation of the Interim Baybay City Division…” A Ceremonial Turn Over of the Key of Responsibility was held on August 15, 2008.

On February 15, 2011, the SC upheld its initial ruling with finality and declared Baybay, together with 15 other municipalities, as a city.

On December 6, 2012, Baybay City Division had its soft launching, and on January 8, 2013, DepEd Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro, FSC, issued an Unnumbered Memorandum ordering the “Establishment of City Schools Division of Baybay, to separate from its mother division, the Division of Leyte.”
