At least 400 Philippine Army (PA) troopers are participating
in the ongoing "Brigada Eskwwela" activities in Metro Manila this
week.
This was disclosed by Army spokesperson Lt. Col. Noel
Detoyato in a statement.
He added the 400 soldiers will be coming from Army’s Civil
Military Operations Group, Army Support Command, Headquarters and Headquarters
Support Group and Army Reserve Command.
They were deployed to 18 schools in Taguig
City , Makati
City , Pasig
City , Muntilupa
City , Pasay
City and Pateros and Tondo in Manila
"Brigada Eskwela" is also known as National
Schools Maintenance Week.
This year's activity has a theme of “Tayo Para Sa Kalinisan
at Kahandaan ng Ating mga Paaralan.”
Detoyato said that the activity is also the PA’s way of
communicating with the school children as embodied in the Army’s Transformation
Roadmap -- an Army that is more responsive, reliable, capable and committed to
its mandate of serving the people and securing the land.
"Brigada Eskwela" is a yearly joint undertaking of
concerned government agencies a month before the official opening of classes
nationwide.
In the spirit of "Bayanihan," various groups and
organizations, including the Philippine Army and PNP, join hands to make this
year's "Brigada Eskwela" a success and ensure that the schools are
child-friendly and conducive to learning.
This is one of the civilian-initiated programs actively
supported by the PA as part of its "Bayanihan" activities.
