The Obama-Biden administration from 2009-2017 was criticized for its close ties to Big Tech, and veterans of that White House, as well as of technology firms, are finding their way back into Joe Biden s government.

PASIG CITY, Jan. 15 The Department of Education (DepEd) sealed a partnership with Nestlé Philippines, Inc. (NPI) to further promote a healthy lifestyle among Filipino children in a virtual Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing ceremony on Wednesday.
In her speech, Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones emphasized that health and education are closely related, citing DepEd’s joint programs with the Department of Health (DOH) on child nutrition and health.

We are very grateful for Nestlé Philippines for its long years of partnership and help,” Secretary Briones said.
