In line with the Department’s commitment to public service and community development, the Department of Public Works, and Highways Northern Samar Second District Engineering Office (DPWH-NSSDEO) spearheaded by District Engineer Atty. Arthur Eric L. Sabong and OIC-Assistant District Engineer Francisco Y. Tañala, along with NSSDEO staff and employees, and in coordination with Silvino Lubos Central Elementary School Head, Teresita S. Equiza, successfully conducted an outreach program at SLCES on June 11, 2026.
The beneficiaries were the kindergarten and grade school learners of SLCES. A total of 1,024 learners from kindergarten to Grade 6 received school supplies such as notebooks, writing pads, pencils, crayons, erasers, sharpeners, and coloring books, along with snacks.
The activity was conducted as part of the Department’s celebration of its 128th Founding Anniversary, with support extended to learners in communities with limited access to educational resources. The initiative also served as Department’s continuing support for the Department of Education Annual Oplan Balik Eskwela for School Year 2026-2027, which officially began on June 8, 2026.
Through this initiative, DPWH NSSDEO aims to support the education sector by helping ease the financial burden on parents and motivating students as they begin the new school year. It also reflects the department mandate of “Building Infrastructures, Improving Lives” by going beyond roads and bridges and reaching out directly to communities.
The activity is one of several initiatives lined up by DPWH-NSSDEO in observance of the Department’s 128th Founding Anniversary this June, highlighting its continued dedication to service not only through infrastructure projects but also through community-centered initiatives.
