CASTILLA, Sorsogon Dec 4 (PIA) – For three consecutive years, the Army Brigade based in Sorsogon province has supported and actively participated in the celebration of the National Reading Month, this time in one of the Schools of Peace in the municipality of Castilla.
The Army's 903rd Infantry Brigade, in collaboration with the Department of Education (DepEd) Sorsogon Division, brought the advocacy in Barangay San Isidro in Castilla town to revive the love and interest for reading among the elementary and high school students
National Reading Month is observed every November pursuant to DepEd’s Memo Circular 244 of 2011.
Colonel Joselito E. Kakilala, commander of Army's 903rd Infantry Brigade, led the soldiers in telling stories to Grade I and V pupils. He read the story on Noah’s Ark.
San Isidro Elementary School has been under the School of Peace Program of the Bicol Consortium on Peace Education and Development (BCPED) piloted in 2000. Under this program, which is supported by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Process (OPAPPP), the school incorporates peace concepts in their lessons in most subjects based on the curriculum provided by United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
“The Army's 903rd Brigade is indeed grateful and honored to be part of this annual advocacy that aims to develop the love and interest for reading of our young people. We assure our educators that the Army here in Sorsogon will always be here to fully support them in molding the hearts and minds of our young people because we believe that they are one of the important catalysts in our quest for national peace and development”, Kakilala said.
The Brigade was also joined by students taking up Bachelor of Science in Peace Studies at the Bicol University in Daraga, Albay in the simultaneous reading activity.
