City Mayor Dong Gualberto and City Schools Division Office Superintendent Dr. Rowena Banzon signed the Deed of Donation for the tablets and laptops for distribution to underprivileged students of the City earlier today, December 23.

The 730 units of tablets for student and 20 units of laptops were immediately turned over to the City Schools Division after the signing. They will then distribute these to the students and teachers. 

The funds for the tablets were sourced from the Mayor’s Fund and Special Education Fund. Education has been one of Mayor Dong’s priority agenda since he assumed his position last November. 

The City Government is cognizant of the struggles that our students and teachers face with learning during the pandemic. As such, we will continue to do our best in bridging the digital divide experienced by our underprivileged learners.
