Beneficiaries each received their own backpacks, school shoes, socks, complete set of school supplies, textbooks, crayons and coloring pads.

Among the day care centers visited by Mayor Lazatin were Sapalibutad Centro, Cubul, Pavillion, Pulung Cacutud, EPZA I, EPZA II, Cutud, and Northville 15.

The distribution to the remaining 64 Day Care centers will follow suit.
