Comval LGU, NMYL supports Brigada Eskwela, gives 600 school chairs



Compostela Valley Province, June 1, 2015—The National Movement for Young Legislators (NMYL) Comval Chapter headed by its Provincial Executive Committee Chair Senior Board Member Tyron Uy is among those who are actively involved in the week-long “Brigada Eskwela” from May 18-23, 2015.

Visiting  several schools, the group helped in the repair, clean-up and donated a total of 600 school chairs, a much-needed facility where shortage of chairs is one of the perennial problem in public schools.

NMYL visited Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School (NNCHS) and Magsaysay National High School (NHS) both in Nabunturan, Compostela NHS, Bongabong NHS and Napnapan Elementary School in Pantukan, and Union High School in Monkayo, among others.

Under Department of Education (DepEd) Memorandum No. 41-2015, Secretary Brother Armin Luistro mandates the conduct of the nationwide “Brigada Eskwela 2015” also known as the “National Schools Maintenance Week” from May 18-23, 2015 with the theme “Tayo Para sa Kalinisan, Kaligtasan at Kahandaan ng ating mga Paaralan.”
Meanwhile, the provincial government under Gov. Arturo Uy has been consistent in its support to “Brigada Eskuwela” most especially with the “bayanihan” spirit alive in this kind of undertaking. The governor has been known for applying the concept of volunteerism as one of his strategies in government service.

Banking on volunteers composed of local officials, government agencies, NGOs, teachers, parents and students, among others, these “Adopt-a-School Program Partners” helped the school  in preparation for the school year 2015-2016. 

Aside from regularly providing for additional materials for paints, brushes, rollers, the province, this year, also gives 1 sack of rice provision to more than 400 public elementary and secondary schools in Comval.  (Fe Maestre /IDS Comval)
