Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto on Wednesday said the local government has raised P1.2 billion to provide tablets, laptops, and learning devices for elementary up to senior high school students and teachers in public schools for its distance learning education.
The mayor urged 2,500 students of Pamantasang Lungsod ng Pasig (PLP) to enroll and they don’t have nothing to worry because the local government will provide for them. P30 million worth of devices and gadgets will be available for PLP students.
“Siyempre walang papalit sa face-to-face classes pero alam po natin na sa ngayon, medyo delikado pa at ayaw nating maging breeding ground ng virus ang ating mga paaralan, so magiging distance learning po talaga,” he said in a live briefing.
“Ito ‘yung pakiusap ko sa inyo, mag-enroll po kayo, libre naman po… mag-enroll po kayo, ‘wag kayong tumigil sa pag-aaral, ‘yan lang po ‘yan lang po ‘yung hinihingi ko sa inyo,” added Sotto.
The mayor told the students the impact of the loss of opportunity to learn if they’ll not enroll and stop schooling. The students do not need to worry about their tuition fees, said the mayor.
