Over 3,220 ‘PagbaBAGo’ distributed to students by OVP
ON her first 100 days since assuming office, Vice President Sara Duterte has already distributed a total of 3,220 “PagbaBAGo” containing school supplies and hygiene kits.
The campaign has already benefitted 3,220 students from six remote areas in the country — Limasawa Island in Southern Leyte, Jordan town in the Island Province of Guimaras, Caramoan in Camarines Sur, Kidapawan City in North Cotabato, Siguijor Province, Dasmariñas in Cavite, and Bangued in Abra.
The Office of the Vice President’s (OVP) “PagbaBAGo” campaign is a program that aims to instill the importance of basic education and nurture the right attitude among young Filipinos to succeed in life.
The campaign was Duterte’s program when she was still mayor of Davao City. This became part of the Vice President’s activities during her visits to cities and towns across the country.
Aside from distributing the bags, Duterte also talks to the children’s parents, convincing them to practice responsible parenthood and family planning.
The Vice President, also the secretary of the Department of Education, has repeatedly reminded parents that their children will have “better chances” in life when they get good jobs after finishing proper education.
