VICE President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte distributed PagbaBAGo bags to students and laptops to teachers in two public schools in Tacloban City.

The teaching staff of The Basper Elementary School and Tacloban National Agricultural School received the laptops, while 232 Grade 1 and Grade 7 pupils received bags that contained school supplies and dental kits.

The PagbaBAGo campaign aims to instil the importance of basic education and the right attitude among young Filipinos to succeed in life. It was Duterte’s program when she was the mayor of Davao City.

In her classroom visits, Duterte impressed on the learners the importance of education in ending the cycle of poverty.

The Vice President also held dialogues with school heads and teachers, listening to their concerns and requests.

Duterte also talked to the children’s parents, convincing them to practice responsible parenthood and family planning.
