teachers, and volunteer students. Kgg. Ronaldo D. Reyes, the Brgy. Chairman of Del
Remedio praised the project and the volunteers who will teach students with knowledge
gaps. The Youth Formation Coordinator of the Division of San Pablo, Ms. Eloisa J.
Pramis, was also grateful for the efforts given by the volunteer students of LSPU,
teachers, heads, and coordinators, who became busy formulating this project. Mr.
Rainne G. Ramos, the PSDS-cluster II, gave some pieces of wisdom to the listeners.
Due to the busy schedule of the CTE Dean, Dr. Edilberto Z. Andal, Dr. Cecilia Velasco,
gave a message on her behalf of him. She introduced the volunteer students from
LSPU and the subject that they will be teaching to the students. She clarified that the
volunteer students of this project don’t have any salary; they pledge themselves to
teach because they want to help the Filipino youth.
Keith Abiel Cervantes, the SSG President of DRNHS, presented the details of
PROJECT VTS 5.2. He told what are the needs of the students, the subjects that need
to put much attention to, and also the beneficiaries of the program. After he gave the
program details, the last year’s Volunteer students also gave their message for this
batch of volunteer students via Video Presentation. Those volunteer students from last
year shared their gratitude as they learned a lot after teaching the students of said
school.
Cyrell N. Ate, the CTE-Extension Implementing Unit Head, introduced the
Volunteer student teachers to the students, parents, and people who attend the
orientation. She called out all the volunteer students who came from the Filipino,
English, and Mathematics departments. She also included the volunteer student
teachers of SIKLAV. She was grateful for the initiative of the volunteer student to teach
the youth for free. After her, Eric P. Valladolid. the project Leader-Project VTS 5.2
started to have an open forum to accommodate several questions. The teachers from
LSPU asked for the schedule for tutoring because the volunteers have also classes and
they want to know the schedule so that there are no classes affected. Valladolid
answered the question by telling the teachers that they are free to choose a specific day
to teach, where the students and the volunteer student teachers are also free.
After the open forum, the project implementors together with the LSPU-CTE
admins signed the wall of commitment together with the volunteer student teachers,
student participants, and parents symbolizing that they are committed to the project
VTS. As the program ended, Myrna T. Capuno, the president of GPTA is thankful that
this project exists because it really helps the students of DRNHS. The visitors and the
officials took their photo opportunity after the program.
