Camp Lukban, Catbalogan City – This morning, soldiers of the 8th Infantry Division joined the first school flag raising ceremony in the Region for school year 2011-2012. The troops donated National flags to make the ceremony even more symbolic.
During the ceremony, the teachers enjoined the soldiers to explain to the students the significance of the National flag. The soldiers emphasized that our national flag is a symbol of our freedom, independence and the democratic principles we live by and stand for and our respect for the flag is an expression of our nationalism and patriotism.
Mrs. Teresita Arasa, Teacher-in-Charge of Catbalogan 4 Central School, expressed her gratitude to the soldiers for their generosity and their commitment to uplift the consciousness of the youth.
The activity is a manifestation of 8ID’s continued support to OPLAN “Balik-Eskwela” of the Department of Education. The DepEd OPLAN calls on stakeholders from the different government agencies and representatives from the private sectors to support their program of ensuring a safe and child friendly school environment.###
