With the Bacolod City government’s ongoing school bag distribution throughout the city, six more schools are expected to benefit from the program with three events scheduled today, July 2.

Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia, alongside various city officials, will lead distributions for C. L. Montelibano Elementary School and Alfredo Montelibano Elementary School students at one event, Education and Training Center School (ETCS) 1 and 2 at another, followed by one for ETCS 3 and Rizal Elementary School.

The program kicked off last week with distribution events at the Banago Elementary School I gym and Bata Elementary School I gym.

The backpacks, which each contain two notebooks, two pencils, two pens, and a ruler, are intended for students between Grades 1 and 6.

The program expects to distribute a total of 68,000 bags./WDJ
