Meanwhile, 252 schools are under ADM in Metro Manila, 407 in Central Visayas, 366 in Soccsksargen, 319 in Ilocos region, 268 in Calabarzon and 259 in the Cordillera Administrative Region.

In Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Davao region and Caraga, there are a total of 273 schools under ADM. There are 47,678 public schools nationwide.
