The school principal was in hot water after being pointed out as the main reason for an elementary teacher to pass away.
On September 19, Marjorie Llanto Boldo, a teacher who served for 31 years through pedagogy was allegedly passed away due to the stress she experienced after being confronted by her school principal, Alvin Escobar.
Boldo even expressed her disappointment through her class group chat several days before her passing.
After the incident, the Department of Education in Davao de Oro already launched an investigation and already summoned the principal to comment on the matter.
“DepEd Davao de Oro always gives utmost respect and concern to all our learners, teachers, and non teaching personnel. We assure the public that we are actively looking into the matter and will throughly conduct investigation in a proper forum to address this concern,” the DepEd statement read.
DepEd said that they would call the principal for a dialogue to know what really happened when Escobar called Boldo to his office to address a concern of a parent.
Meanwhile, Escobar refused to give any statement on the issue and even locked his social media account.
Until today, the family of the teacher couldn’t accept what happened to Boldo, saying that she kept the details of the confrontation secret to her relatives.
