BBM leads nationwide Brigada Eskwela kickoff
The Philippine Star
|June 10, 2025
President Marcos yesterday led the nationwide kickoff of Brigada Eskwela to prepare for the opening of school year 2025-2026.
Communities and parents are expected to help teachers and school officials prepare for the start of classes, Education Secretary Sonny Angara said in a chance interview as he and the President oversaw activities at the Barihan Elementary School in Malolos, Bulacan.
"President Marcos chose this school as he wants to know the real conditions of our schools and those who really need help," Angara said.
"Before his arrival, we started fixing the internet connection as this is one of the needs here. There were donations from the private sector. The internet connection is from Starlink," he added.
While the Department of Education has no funding for the procurement of lots for the construction of classrooms for Barihan Elementary School, Angara said the government is ready to fund it once local officials identify available space.
A normal rainy season is expected on June 16 when classes start, he noted.
