BRIGADA ESKWELA
Before the school year starts here in the Philippines, the public, and even the private school, elementary and secondary level undergo a "Brigada Eskwela." Upon enrollment starting for the month of May and June every parent really help to repair and repaint classrooms, fix broken chairs and tables and clean up school surroundings, so that when the class start, everything is already prepared. Brigada Eskwela is a Bayanihan among parents, teachers, students and other agencies involved. It also emphasize the importance of school sanitation and hygiene and improvement of toilets and wash facilities
For me, it is a bright idea of the government by implementing this program considering the fact that all were participating. It is hard to connect other people when you have not experienced getting along with them especially in our community. The program of DepEd continues to draw the interest and support of various sectors. More volunteers join in the effort and more donations of construction materials such as paint, cement, and lumber needed to minor repairs.
