San remigio: A public school in the remote area of the Municipality of San Remigio will establish a makeshift dormitory to cater to learners and teachers. The makeshift dormitory that will be built at the Sumaray Integrated School in Barangay Sumaray will be funded from a donation during the Brigada Eskwela.

According to Philippines News Agency, Dr. Sherill Cortejo, San Remigio District II Officer-in-Charge/Supervisor, stated that the Sumaray Integrated School is a catchment school catering to learners from neighboring barangays. Dr. Cortejo emphasized the challenges faced by learners from Barangays Walker Proper and Lapak who have to walk over an hour daily to attend classes, as these areas are situated about five kilometers from the school.

Additionally, many teachers at the school hail from other barangays, necessitating them to rent accommodations or stay overnight in their classrooms, particularly during inclement weather. The Bugasong Multi-Purpose Cooperative has generously donated PHP249,892 as part of the Brigada Eskwela to fund the construction of the new dormitory.

San Remigio Municipal Mayor Margarito Mission Jr. has expressed support for the dormitory's construction. Dr. Cortejo mentioned the proposal of a two-bedroom facility and welcomed further donations to assist in the project's completion.

Meanwhile, Dr. Evelyn Remo, Chief of the Department of Schools Division of Antique School Governance and Operations, reported the receipt of 17 bicycles donated for the "Pedal of Hope" program by the Barbaza Multipurpose Cooperative during the Brigada Eskwela kick-off on June 1. The cooperative also contributed 150 armchairs. The bicycles are intended for last-mile learners, and the armchairs will replace worn-out furniture.
