We also instructed DepEd division to conduct an inventory of the school buildings and facilities all over the city so that the local school will allocate funds and it will be evenly distributed.” Mayor Silvosa said during an interview.

“Victor Sumalinog from the DLPC revealed some projects for the LGU Panabo as part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

If the beneficiaries can maintain their grades until they graduate from high school they will be our  priority for Davao Light's college scholarshop” Somalinog said.
