CALAMBA CITY, Laguna - The Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) from the province of Quezon is gradually preparing steps that will help to continue the education of students and discover their resources from various fields despite existing new normal system caused by the pandemic.

Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar interviewed Rolden Garcia, SK Chairperson of Barangay Ibabang Dupay, Lucena City on June 2, 2020, on the Network Briefing News program.





SK chair Garcia shared with the public their initiatives and activities that have been carried out and are yet to be implemented in the constituency to help give hope to the residents of the area in their education.

He said that with the increase in the number of positive cases, he is also lowering the level of education that every student should enjoy because of COVID 19 so the Sangguniang Kabataan ng Ibabang Dupay was launched by the “Saliksik Kaalaman Program” to provide hope and learning among fellow youth.





He said there was a contest here that even at home just by writing poetry, making slogans, essays, and drawing skills.

“Napakahalaga na yung edukasyon ang top priority ng bawat konseho dahil ito yung programa na sadyang madadala ng mga kabataan hindi lamang ngayon, hindi lamang bukas bagkus kahit matapos po yung ating termino bilang SK official ay maalala nila,” SK Chairperson Garcia said.





SK Garcia is also happy to announce that despite the crisis, they have been able to add new scholarship grants to their fellow youth to help reduce their thinking and hesitation to continue their education due to the pandemic.

Sangguniang Kabataan is currently actively cooperating with the four public schools in their barangay in the so-called new normal school brigade in preparation for the modern education system due to the impact of COVID-19.

“Ang aking pong mensahe ay unang una po kailangan po natin sumunod sa mga protocols dahil ito po ay para sa atin. Sabi nga po natin lagi nga po natin ikinakampanya sa atin pong mga kababayan na ang kaligtasan natin sa ating sarili ay kaligtasan ng ating pamilya at kaligtasan po ng ating pamayanan. Makiisa po tayo sa mga ipinapatupad na programa, proyekto at aktibidades ng ating gobyerno dahil ito naman po ay para sa atin din. Ito po ay para sa ikakaligtas natin at higit sa lahat ay para po sa ating pamilya at sa ating komunidad,” SK Chairperson told the audience of the program.
