MVP and Ms. del Rosario with School Principals |
PBSP Executive Director Rafael Lopa with DepEd Apalit District Supervisor Lou Vasquez |
PLDT, through its ComRel Unit headed by Ms Evelyn del
Rosario, recently turned over 16 learning resource corners to all of the 15
public elementary schools of Apalit, Pampanga and to Blue Ridge School of
Apalit, Inc. The donation of these LRCs are expected to benefit at least 11,000
pupils.
This project can complement the school's existing "Drop
Everything and Read" initiative which is done every last Friday of the
month and DepEd's "Every Child a Reader Program" which was designed
to equip elementary pupils in public schools with strategic reading and writing
skills to make them independent young readers and writers. On the school level,
it will support the reading remedial classes of the schools for those pupils
who are frustrated readers.
The turnover of the LRCs were part of the celebration of the
birthday of PLDT Chairman Mr. Manuel V. Pangilinan in Apalit, Pampanga.
