On March 25–28, 2025, the Department of Education (DepEd), through the Literacy Coordinating Council (LCC), successfully conducted the Regional Capacity Building on LCC Localization at the DepEd Ecotech Center in Lahug, Cebu City!
Bringing together local government unit (LGU) representatives and select DepEd Alternative Learning System (ALS) focal persons from across the Visayas region, the four-day event was designed to capacitate LGUs to establish and strengthen Local Literacy Councils (LLCs) and implement inclusive, data-driven, and sustainable literacy programs in their communities.
Resource speakers shared best practices, policy frameworks, and strategic tools to localize literacy initiatives effectively. Highlights included inspiring success stories from Bacnotan, La Union, and Ormoc City, showcasing how collaboration and commitment can lead to real progress in literacy development.
Participants engaged in action planning workshops, interactive sessions, and rich discussions focused on community engagement, strategic communication, and cross-sector partnerships—all anchored in the goal of universalizing literacy across the country.
We thank all our partners, resource speakers, and participants who continue to champion literacy in every city, municipality, and barangay. Together, let us make every Filipino literate!
