VICE President Sara Duterte visited Argao Elementary School in Mogpog, Marinduque, as part of her continuing efforts to bring the programs of the Office of the Vice President (OVP) closer to communities.

Argao Elementary School is one of the beneficiaries of the OVP’s PagbaBAGo: A Million Learners and Trees Campaign and the Pansarap feeding program.

During her July visit, Duterte addressed the students, underscoring the importance of pursuing education and finishing their studies.

“Pinaintindi ko sa ating mga kabataan ang kahalagahan na makapagtapos ng pag-aaral at kung paano ito makapagbabago ng kanilang buhay at ng kanilang pamilya,” she said.

The Vice President also expressed her gratitude for the chance to engage with the students and introduce them to the OVP’s initiatives.

“Maraming salamat sa oportunidad na mabisita ko kayo at maiparating ang programa ng Tanggapan sa inyong paaralan.”

She concluded with a reminder of her call to unity:

“Mahalin natin ang Pilipinas — para sa Diyos, Bayan at sa bawat Pamilyang Pilipino.”
