PAGADIAN CITY – More than 100 students from Grades 5 and 6 benefited from a humanitarian mission conducted by the 1st Cavalry Squadron of the Philippine Army’s Mechanized Infantry Division in Zamboanga del Sur province.
Lt. Col. Charlemagne Batayola, Jr., the squadron commander, led the distribution of hygiene kit at the Margareto Lagare Elementary School in the village of Navalan in Tukuran town.
“We hope to replicate this project in other areas, especially those in the far-flung places, to promote good hygiene and healthy practise among the students,” Batayola told the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.
He said the project was in partnership with Pagadian City Mayor Romeo Pulmones, FA Pawnshop and Frederick Yap, of Paint Trade; and participated by teachers and village officials. (Ferdinand Libor, Jr)
