MILITANT teachers group Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) on Monday stormed the central office of the Department of Education (DepEd) in Pasig City to protest the impending demolition of two schools in Patungan, Maragondon in Cavite.

“We are aghast at the planned demolition of schools in Cavite and at the lack of necessary support from the Department of Education. We are in dire need of more classrooms in the country and such plan of demolition just to give way for the construction of a commercial establishment is unacceptable in all senses,” France Castro, the group’s secretary general, said.
