Talisay opposition dads give out chairs to villages

CEBU, Philippines - Talisay City opposition councilors Romeo Villarente, Danilo Caballero, and Valeriano Ylanan yesterday handed over plastic chairs to barangays Lawaan I, Tabunok. Poblacion, Camp 4, San Roque, and Mohon. 

Caballero said the barangays will distribute the chairs to public schools.

While they belong to the opposition in the city council, Caballero said they were able to secure the chairs from the Office of Provincial Board Member Wilfredo Caminero, who is the chairman of the committee on the local school board. 

The barangays had approved a resolution asking for “monoblock” chairs. 

“This is our way of showing our love and care to the barangays,” Caballero said, stressing that the chairs form part of their unwavering commitment to education with the ultimate goal of giving the young generation a better future.  (FREEMAN)
