PLDT, led by its Head for Community Relations Ms. Evelyn del
Rosario formally turned over 6 reading corners to priority public elementary
schools, namely: Sto. Tomas Central School, Cabaruan Integrated School, Aringay
Central School, Sengngat Elementary School, Rimos Elementary School and Mangaan
Elementary School.
The reading corners were donated in support to the
USAID-funded Basa Pilipinas Program, of
which PBSP is a member of the implementing team. Among PBSP’s tasks is to
support the establishment of partnerships with the business and private sector
to promote increased awareness around reading, specifically to support the
establishment of reading corners in target public schools. This is to leverage
the trainings for the school heads that will in turn be provided by BASA
Pilipinas to enhance the school’s initiatives in improving reading skills and
comprehension of school children.
Joining PLDT in the turnover ceremonies are PBSP's Luzon
Regional Center Manager Ms. Kristine Rivadelo, BASA Pilipinas La Union Team
Leader Ms. Adelia Licos and DepEd La Union Schools Division Superintendent Dr.
Rowena Banzon.
