CALOOCAN City Mayor Dale Gonzalo ‘Along’ Malapitan led the distribution of bags and school supplies for Caloocan City public school students from Kindergarten to Grade 6.

The beneficiaries are students of the Bagong Barrio Elementary School, Morning Breeze Elementary School, Andres Bonifacio Elementary School, Maypajo Elementary School, Caloocan Central Elementary School, Cecilio Apostol Elementary School, Kalayaan Elementary School and Bagong Silang Elementary School and Sto. Nino Elementary School.

“Laman po ng bawat bag ay notebook, lapis, pambura at ruler para sa bawat mag-aaral simula kinder hanggang grade 6 sa mga pampublikong paaralan sa lungsod,” he said.

Students in other schools will also get their supplies.

“Itinaon po natin na simulan ang distribusyon ngayong Nobyembre dahil ayon po sa DepEd, ngayong buwan epektibo ang kabuuang implementasyon ng face-to-face classes sa bansa. Nais natin na makatulong ito sa bawat magulang na makabawas sa kanilang gastusin at magamit ng ating mga mag-aaaral sa face-to-face classes,” the mayor said.

He reiterated his goal to improve the quality of education in Caloocan.

As the previous District 1 representative, Malapitan helped build 1,058 classrooms and authored House Bill 5739 that establishes the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Caloocan City-North campus.
