Many public schools in the Philippines require constant maintenance, owing mostly to the torrential rains and high humidity brought about by local weather. This makes their upkeep a race against nature.
While some school buildings may have lost their sheen, it takes a bit of help to make them look bright and conducive to learning.
Taguig National High School is an example of such an institution. Through the DepEd’s “BrigadaEskwela” program, Philam Life Foundation has recently repainted and turned over a brand new-looking building to the school, which currently educates about 2,000 students in its K-12 program. The Math building includes eight newly-repainted classrooms, complete with about 40 desks and a blackboard for each classroom.
