Lt. Col. Jeffrey Cabansay, 8th Field Artillery Battalion
(FAB) commander, has encouraged school children to study hard to fulfill their
dreams and goals in life.
Cabansay issued the statement during an outreach program
Monday in partnership with the Helping Everyone Randomly Organization (HERO)
Foundation at the Look Jambangan Primary School
in Barangay Baluno, Isabela
City , the capital of
Basilan province.
Cabansay told the school children that he became the
battalion commander of the 8th FAB because he studied hard during his days in
elementary and high school.
A total of 60 school children benefited from the joint
outreach program of the 8th FAB and HERO Foundation wherein they distributed
food and snacks purchased from food chain Jollibee as well as school supplies.
A Jollibee mascot entertained the school children during the
event.
“If the people can’t go to the city because of poverty and
don’t have the opportunity to dine in a restaurant or fast-food outlet like
Jollibee, then the HERO and 8th FAB will bring it to them so they can have fun
and laughter,” Cabansay said
The HERO Foundation headed by Rijan Peñaflor was organized
to help the needy and the less fortunate ones.
The Look
Jambangan Primary
School was the second school that benefited from
the joint HERO and 8th FAB outreach program.
The first was the Simeon Josefa Elementary School in
Barangay Binuangan, Isabela City, Basilan wherein 200 students benefited during
the outreach mission held last August 10.
Peñaflor and Cabansay said more outreach programs will be
held in the coming days for the benefit of the school children.
