The 1st Infantry (Tabak) Division’s support to “Plastic ni
Juan project” of GMA7 project received accolade from the host of the popular
noontime show, Eat Bulaga.
Tabak troopers led by Lt. Col. Aude Mongao, 1st Civil
Military Operations Officer, personally handed on Tuesday over eight tons of
empty plastic bottles and containers to the management of Eat Bulaga right in
its studio at Broadway Centrum here.
Plastic ni Juan project aims to collect plastic wastes to be
made into tables and chairs for selected public schools that need them.
Mongao also said the troopers’ participation in the Eat
Bulaga program was not primarily for educational purposes but in support of
GMA7’s core advocacy, which is to extend assistance to schools, which are in
dire need of tables and chairs for their schoolchildren especially those in the
remote barangays of the country.
The Eat Bulaga management allocated 25 seats for Tabak
officers and members who would come to watch the program’s segment “Juan for
All, All for Juan,” where the plastic bottles collected by the troopers from
the barangays they had visited would be turned-over.
Earlier, Eat Bulaga’s youngest host and child actress Ryzza
Mae Dizon in her program dubbed “Ryzza Mae Show” extolled the 1st Infantry
division for donating large volume of empty plastic bottles.
“Maraming salamat po sa inyong mga sundalo na nagdadala
ng mga empty plastic bottles dito. Tiyak na nakakatulong ito ng malaki sa mga
paaralan na nangangailangan ng mga lamisa at silya,” Dizon explained.
(I am thankful to the troopers for bringing empty plastic
bottles here. Certainly this would greatly help the schools in need of tables
and mono block chairs.)
Dizon invited Tabak hospital chief Col. Arsenio Belen to be
her instant guest and asked him why the troopers were in GMA7.
Belen said “the troopers’ presence was a show of 1st
infantry division’s strong support to GMA7’s project, which Tabak commander
BGen. Gerardo Barrientos Jr. isvery supportive of.”
TV host Vic Sotto also thanked the division for
donating empty plastic bottles during Eat Bulaga’s segment “One for All, All
for Juan”.
“Nagpasalamat kami sa 1st Infantry (Tabak) division na
galing sa Labangan, Zamboanga del Sur pagdonate nila ng plastic bottles para
sa ‘Plastic Ni Juan’ project . Sila po ay kasama natin studio ngayon,”
Sotto happily said.
(I thanked the 1st Infantry (Tabak) Division from Labangan,
Zamboanga del Sur for donating plastic bottles for the “Plastic ni Juan”
project and they are joining us in the studio now.)
