TO HELP learners prepare for the new school year, policemen in Gregorio del Pilar, Ilocos Sur implemented a reading project through the “Brigada Pabasa” program.

The project was carried out by members of  the Gregorio del Pilar Municipal Police Station in coordination with officials from the Alfonso Elementary School.

The program aims to assist communities in preparing children for School Year 2021-2022 by boosting the children’s reading ability.

Philippine National Police chief Police General Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar said the project shows the police’s willingness to help children in attaining good education.

“Hindi man mga guro, nariyan ang ating kapulisan para tumulong sa mga kabataan na palawakin pa ang kanilang kaalaman at bigyan ng importansya ang edukasyon,” Eleazar said.

“Sa ganitong programa, mapaparamdam din sa mga kabataan na kakampi nila ang pulis at hindi kami dapat katakutan,” he added.
