The school supplies handed comprised of backpack, pencil case, notebooks, pad papers, pencils, ballpens and raincoats for protection during rainy seasons. Apart from the school supplies, Biliran DEO also spread joys to the learners with the distribution of meal from one of the popular fastfood chain in the country.

“In behalf of the community of Ungale-2 Elementary School, we are very thankful kay aside sa layo me kaayo, dia me sa remote nga place, naabot gihapon ang tabang ninyo sa amo-a and nalipay ang tanan labi na ang mga kabataan kay not all nga mga parents naa’y kapacidad nga makapalit ug ingon ana nga mga nindot nga mga kagamitan. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you kaayo DPWH sa inyong gipanghatag nga tabang sa mga kabataan,” said Ms. Delos Reyes.
(In behalf of the community of Ungale-2 Elementary School, we are very thankful to the DPWH for coming here despite our remote location. Everybody is happy especially to the learners who received the school supplies because not all parents have the capacity to buy school materials that are as fine as these. From the bottom of our heart, thank you very much DPWH for the help you have extended for the kids.)
As a token of appreciation, Mr. Jether Allegado, School Head of Ungale-2 Elementary School awarded a certificate of recognition to DPWH-Biliran DEO through OIC-DE Antonio for the assistance extended to the school.
