Wescom, Ten Moves Foundation dedicate HS classroom in Palawan

From the Philippine Information Agency (Dec 11): Wescom, Ten Moves Foundation dedicate HS classroom in Palawan

The Western Command (Wescom) and Ten Moves Foundation dedicated another pre-fabricated interactive classroom to Bato National High School, Taytay, Palawan recently. As the pre-fabricated interactive classroom was dedicated, Wescom Commander Lt. Gen. Juancho M. Sabban, commended ‘Ten Moves’ for helping the Bayanihang Pampaaralan program, which is aimed to address classroom shortage, a reality.

Likewise, Lt. Gen. Sabban thanked the Parents -Teachers Association for actively taking part in the project.  “While government is primarily tasked to provide free and quality education to every Filipino child, Ten Moves reminds us that we are all education stakeholders. And the youth, who ought to be the primary target of initiatives to comprise them as assets in the society, is everybody’s concern,” Lt. Gen. Sabban said.

Ten Moves Representative Angelo Valencia considered the Marines as not only the nation’s force of choice, but also as builders of choice. “The main strategy of Ten Moves is to look for two million Filipinos who will donate ten pesos a day for 10 months. This is about P300 per month or P3,000 for the entire 10 months. If the strategy becomes successful, it will help raise P6 billion, which is enough to build 10,000 classrooms,” states the foundation’s website. According to DepEd-Palawan Schools Division Superintendent Raul M. Marin, the collaboration indeed shows that it takes a village to educate a child.
