LAMUT, Ifugao – Military officers reached out to pupils in
far-flung schools in this town.
The activity is a partnership between the 54th Infantry Battalion of the
Philippine Army and Ifugao State University-College of Education and Arts
(IFSU-CEA) Nayon as part of the Army’s “Project Shoe Box” this year.
Each shoe box, which came from individuals who responded to the Army’s call for
people to share what they can to inspire elementary pupils in far flung areas,
contained assorted items either school and hygiene supplies,
slippers, stuffed toy and a letter containing the message of the donor.
Dubbed as “Maagang Pamasko, Handog ng Philippine Army at IFSU,” the
activity was done in different schools of Lamut District from Dec. 1 to 3.

Lt. Col. Eddie M. Pilapil, 54th IB’s commanding officer, said the event is one way by which Army personnel show their care for the future generation.
“As much as possible, the Army wants to continue this kind of endeavor. We want to inspire children (to do good) in their studies for them to be better prepared for the future,” Pilapil said.
Alice Brawner, dean of IFSU-CEA, thanked the donors and principals, teachers, parents, and students of the participating schools for supporting the activity.
