LEGAZPI CITY, June 14 (PIA) -- Around 700 indigent elementary pupils from barangays Gabawan and Kiwalo of Albay received school supplies from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) Thursday, June 13 as part of their Balik Eskwela Program 2013.
Christopher Gallinero, Kiwalo Elementary School principal, said they greatly appreciate the assistance given by the NGCP since most of their students came from poor families.
This project is part of the Corporate Social Responsibility Programs (CSRP) of the NGCP which aims to help develop communities in barangays hosting their transmission facilities said Nelson Bautista, Regional Corporate Communications and Public Affairs officer of NGCP Southern Luzon.
“Our goal is not just to transmit electricity but also to help the people who are part of it and that include the communities in our host barangays,” Bautista said.
Kiwalo and Gabawan are the barangays nearest the substation of the NGCP in Albay.
“Aside from the two schools in Albay, we also have 27 public elementary school recipients from Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Sorsogon, Laguna and Quezon. Almost 10,000 elementary students from these schools will be receiving the same school supplies,” Bautista added.
The school supplies packed inside the NGCP bags include pencils and personalized notebooks with safety tips printed at the back to remind the people, in particular the children, of the precautions needed to avoid electricity-related accidents especially along high voltage transmission lines.
Also part of NGCP’s CSRP in the region, Bautista added, is the water system project in Barangay San Rafael of Sta Magdalena, Sorsogon to be turned over to its beneficiaries this June 17. (MAL/SAA/PIA5-Albay)
