Camp Lukban, Catbalogan, Samar – The 8th Infantry (Stormtroopers) Division pledges to participate and support the DepEd’s Annual Brigada Eskwela activity from 21 – 25 May 2012.
 
The Brigada Eskwela Activity is in line with the Armed Forces of the Philippines Internal Peace and Security Plan “Bayanihan” in which Army units help deliver much needed assistance and support to the communities in order to attain peace and development in the area.
 
The 8ID troopers will extend their assistance in terms of human resources services which includes free services such as masonry, carpentry, painting, plumbing, electrical, landscaping/gardening and ordinary labor (cleaning). 8ID believes that education is one of the solutions to our security problem and will help achieve sustainable development and a just and lasting peace in the area.
