Upon descend at Mt. Pulag, we took our rest at the ranger station, some of us bought souvenirs, fresh veggies direct from the farmville of the locals. At exactly 1:30pm we departed at the ranger station going to Abucot Elementary school accompanied by the school’s PTA President, Selaida Arais.

BOXES OF BOOKS & CLOTHES 

A boxes of books and clothes has been loaded to our service jeepney through the help of Sir Larry, the Park Ranger Head and our driver with some locals. This books was given by our sponsor namely Rex Bookstore Inc. 

@ THE SCHOOL LIBRARY

On our way, it’s a combination of smooth and rough road but most of the time we felt the dust beyond the road and we decided to close all the window louvers and doors to keep the dust out with all the rough roads, it took us 40mins to get to the school.

 TEACHER SAFERA MARCELO 

The Grade School Teacher, Safera Marcelo, says that some of the improved road has made it easier for many pupils to reach school. This includes those living in other part of the mountains.

 STUDENTS 

Before the road was improved, the number of students boarding at the school would rise sharply before exams so they could spend less time traveling and more time studying.
