Brigada Balik Eskwela
Last night, we went to see Angels and Demons, guaranteed seat movie starts with a Philippines national anthem Lupang Hinirang. It was familiar because there was a time that ABS CBN was airing that featuring their contract artists singing Lupang Hinirang. After that, a warning about movie piracy. And followed by schedule of Brigada Balik Eskwela or Oplan Balik Eskwela. I can’t remember if it will start two weeks before school opening. Sorry, I can’t post the date here, you could contact your local officials for schedules. (It starts today on most schools.)
Most of the public and private school will start on June 1. Parents and other concerned citizens flock to public schools to help repair the tables, chairs, shelves, fans etc. If they received paint donation, they will also paint classrooms. Bayanihan is still alive these days, usually this was held in behalf of public schools for the benefit of the students in the community. I’m sure they will also handle stagnant waters within the campus, rainy season means possible dengue.
I never participated in this kind of activity since I didn’t know if it exist in our community, I could say our barangay is big for having 3 public schools. Bayanihan for a cause, it doesn’t matter if my children doesn’t study there, we could help by donating small things that could help the students of the community. A support for students in our community.
