The Liga ng mga Barangay in Davao City has significantly enhanced its "Libreng Sakay para sa Edukasyon" program, recently distributing 12 more service vehicles to local schools. This expansion aims to bolster free, safe, and dependable transportation for students, with a particular focus on those residing in distant communities.
Councilor January Duterte, president of the Liga ng mga Barangay, emphasized that financial constraints should not impede a child's access to education. As of the program's expansion, a total of 26 vehicles have been deployed. The initiative is designed to enable students to concentrate on their academic pursuits rather than daily travel challenges.
This program is a key component of the Liga ng mga Barangay's broader strategy to champion inclusive education. It seeks to improve access to learning opportunities for disadvantaged students throughout Davao City. Beneficiaries across the city's three districts have expressed gratitude for the program's extended reach.
