PIA-1 Regional Director Jennilyne Role said the activity was conceptualized by the PIA to provide relevant and accurate information to the public, across all sectors, about the whole-of-nation approach to end the insurgency in the country.
Director Role said, as the lead agency, PIA is tasked to highlight the advocacies on ending the local communist armed conflict in our country.
“Napaka-kritikal ng gampanin ng ating mga guro bilang sila ang tumatayong mga pangalawang magulang at humubog sa ating mga kabataan. We cannot afford na isa na namang kabataan ang mahikayat na mamundok. Alam kong hindi lang kayo mga guro kundi mga magulang din kaya sana ay tulungan ninyo kami and be our multipliers in protecting the youth.” Director Role said.

Teachers in the division were thankful for the information relayed to them and were moved by the testimonies of the parents.
“Ito po yung sinsabi nating providing the proper information to guide and empower students,” said teacher Giliane Sable.
Another teacher said: “It is heartbreaking to listen and see the testimonies of the parents. Napapaisip din po ako ngayon kung paano ko gagabayan ang mga anak ko, mga estudyante namin sa paaralan. Nakasalalay na lamang sa wastong edukasyon sa paaralan o pagtuturo ang paghubog sa mga bata na walang curtailment of their freedom of expression,”
