From the Philippine Information Agency (Feb 29): 1CAV, 1FAB to distribute gifts, feed indigent schoolchildren in Labangan town
The 1st Cavalry (Tagapanguna) Squadron, Mechanized Infantry Division, in partnership with the 1st Field Artillery Battalion (1FAB), Army Artillery Regiment, Philippine Army continue its tradition of sharing with gift-giving and feeding activities for selected indigent schoolchildren in Upper Pulacan Elementary School, Labangan, Zamboanga del Sur on Monday.
Lt. Col. Charlemagne Batayola, Jr., 1CAV commanding officer said at least 50 students from the school were chosen as beneficiaries of the said project. Reaching out to the less privileged sectors of society has always been one of the core commitments of the Philippine Army.
“We give help to those who need it most. It is also a great opportunity for the 1CAV and 1FAB to show love and concern for the schoolchildren,” Batayola announced.
Batayola said during the activity, the 1CAV will distribute food packs, toiletries and slippers, while the 1FAB will extend nutritional assistance to help improve the health status of the children.
It can be recalled that in November, 2015, the same activities were conducted in the school but there were only few beneficiaries.
Batayola thanked GMA7 and Philippine Army Finance Center Producers Integrated Cooperative (PAFCPIC) for actively supporting the project.
