Humble Transformation of Cubay Elementary School

Cubay Elementary School in the Division of La Carlota was physically facelift and transformed into a well-maintained school, conducive for learning since the conduct of Brigada Eskwela, a national maintenance program of the Department of Education every 3rd week of the month of May in which concerned volunteers jointly and severally donated their generous time, efforts and service to what it is now.

As the school principal of this school, I took the following pictures after recess period between 9:45 a.m. to 10:40 a.m. while classes are going on. You couldn't see any pupil loitering around during class hour. They're all inside their classrooms. Only the school principal is going around, observing classes, checking teachers' lesson plans, school forms and other pupils' records.

The school principal who is a writer, journalist and a blogger was very much grateful to the all-out support of the external and internal stakeholders of what Cubay Elementary School at present when compared to the first day when he was transferred to this school from his previous school assignment, Nagasi Elementary School.

Due credits were given to the PTA President, Mrs. Racquel D. Angelitud who took the initiative in leading the parents, and guardians of the school children in giving their time and efforts for the maintenance of the school.

The indefatigable effort of Punong Barangay of Cubay, Noel Vargas who led the barangay council in supporting the school in the form of services and in kind donations. The support of Vice Mayor David Baga, Jr. was also acknowledged.

The women's organization led by the wife of Brgy. Capt. Vargas, the youth organization (Sangguniang Kabataan), and the religious sector represented by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under its "helping hands" community project were duly recognized too.

And the efforts of the teachers in day-to-day activities for the whole week were indispensable. They gave necessary instructions to the volunteers.

The school principal humbly acknowledged all those who gave their moral and spiritual support through a prayer of thanksgiving blessing be bestowed upon them because of their invaluable services, efforts, time and money spent for the success of school maintenance.

All these efforts were also recognized by the school heads of other schools who attended the recent Management Committee (MANCOM) meeting held in this school. They were impressed of the physical transformation of the school through the concerted efforts of the community, the barangay council, Local Government Unit, and the teachers.

Thank you Lord for all these things. Bless them all!
