“Asuncion’s rise from classroom teacher to school principal, Schools Division Superintendent, assistant regional director, and now regional director reflects her competence, integrity, and commitment to public service,” Principe said.
The DepEd-Davao director was also cited for promoting quality education, literacy, inclusive learning, and the welfare of learners and educators following his recognitions for supporting learner-centered programs, strengthening school communities, and promoting excellence in education.

The councilor said the Davao City Government values its long-standing partnership with DepEd in ensuring that children have access to quality education and opportunities to reach their full potential.
City officials wished Asuncion success in leading education. They expressed confidence that the partnership between the city and DepEd-Davao would continue to grow under Asuncion’s leadership and benefit learners across the region.
