THE DEPARTMENT of Education distributed over 3,000 laptops in 77 schools in Puerto Princesa.

Each of the 77 schools got 46 units to support the teaching and learning needs of the students.

Last April 13, the Armed Forces of the Philippines Western Command facilitated the transport of the computers.

The distribution is part of DepEd’s Computerization Program for Fiscal Year 2021.

WESCOM’s Tactical Operations Wing West, 3rd Marine Brigade and Headquarters Support Company provided four military trucks to haul the gadgets from the air base to the Schools Division Office in Puerto Princesa City.

WESCOM said it will continue to play a significant role in nation-building and development, with education being one of the essential requirements, in addition to peace and security.
