Law Summary
Responsibility for Implementation
- The Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), now known as the Department of Education (DepEd), is tasked with the enforcement and implementation of the renaming provision.
- DECS/DepEd must update all official records, documents, and references to reflect the new name of the school.
Effectivity of the Law
- The act becomes effective immediately upon its approval.
- This means all administrative changes necessary for the name change should be initiated without delay following the ratification of the law.
Legal and Administrative Implications
- The name change does not affect the operations, programs, or status of the school other than its official designation.
- This type of renaming is a common legislative act honoring notable individuals, in this case, Don Ruben E. Ecleo, Sr., by memorializing his name through the school's designation.
