BAYOG, Zamboanga del Sur – The
municipal government here led by Mayor Leonardo Babasa Jr. has joined the
annual Brigada Eskuwela 2015 known as National Schools Maintenance Week
starting May 18-23.
Two hundred eighty five municipal officials
and personnel participated in the Brigada Eskuwela on Tuesday at the Bayog
National High School, the largest secondary school in the municipality and
second biggest national high school in terms of population in the province.
Joining the municipal officials are the
personnel of the Philippine National Police (PNP), Bayog Police Station and
local residents.
This is the second time that the municipal
officials and personnel shared their time and effort in the preparation of the
school facilities for the upcoming opening of
classes for school year 2015-2016.
The group was not only involved in cleaning
the entire surroundings of the school but also in the hauling of sand and
gravel to cover the muddy portion of the school
premises and in the painting of the classrooms and roofs.
With this noble undertaking, Mayor Babasa
believes it would help promote the values of volunteerism and cooperation among
the members of the community.
On the other hand, the same group also
conducted the same activity at the Bayog Central Elementary School last May 21.
Both schools in this municipality aspire to
get the award as one of the best implementing schools not only in the region
but in the entire country as well. (with reports from Bernadine
