DepEd Davao Region is encouraging all its teachers, personnel, education leaders, and learners, together with their parents, to read passages in the Bible as part of the observance of National Bible Month in January.
It also encourages the teachers to include passages from the Bible in all their reading activities, especially the Learning Camp Fridays, also known as Catch-Up Fridays.
Rev. Rueland Badoy, the Davao coordinator of the National Bible Month 2024 celebration, said the development and transformation cannot happen without the moral and spiritual aspects.
βWe believe that the moral and spiritual enhancement and development should be given equal priority,β he added.
This Bible reading is intensified through Republic Act 11163, known as An Act Declaring the Last Monday of January Every Year as a Special Working Holiday in Observance of National Bible Day.
The Presidential Proclamation No. 124 also declares January of every year as National Bible Month, culminating in the last week as National Bible Week.
The National Bible Month 2024 is themed βGodβs Word: The Breath of New Lifeβ.
