00:00 The school supplies and other facilities were distributed to students studying in their public school
00:07 which is now under the jurisdiction of the DepEd
00:09 because of the issue of the jurisdiction of Makati and Taguig.
00:12 Joshua Garcia has more.
00:14 Uniforms, shoes, and other school supplies were distributed by the local government of Makati
00:22 to public schools in the city today
00:25 to reduce the expenses of the parents.
00:27 Maricel, who has four children studying in her school,
00:30 is very thankful for the school supplies.
00:33 This is a big help to us.
00:36 Instead of buying, they are giving it to us.
00:39 According to DepEd Makati,
00:40 one of the reasons why the children cannot go to school is because of the lack of supplies.
00:44 What we are saying here is that they need to go to school for no reason.
00:51 They need to buy this.
00:52 This is part of our help to make sure that they will not be a burden on the way to school.
00:59 Mayor Abibinay of Makati City made it clear that they do not have a competition with Taguig City
01:04 in giving quality school supplies.
01:06 Especially when Taguig LGU gave school supplies to the barangays in Makati yesterday
01:10 which is now under their jurisdiction.
01:13 We should isolate our students and our teachers.
01:17 No matter what happens between Taguig and Makati, our children should not be affected.
01:24 Almost 5,000 students of Pembo Elementary School
01:27 and 6,000 students of Binigno Aquino National High School
01:30 received school gear.
01:32 Joshua Garcia for the nation.
01:34 (upbeat music)
