Moreover, Sultan Jamalul Elementary School received 30 tablets; they are also recipients of the School-in-a-Bag project, consisting of a laptop, 10 tablets, and learning materials, provided in collaboration with PLDT Foundation and leading global technology provider HUAWEI, a partnership aimed at enhancing and expanding the provision of vital digital services to underserved communities within the BARMM area. The introduction of the innovative "School-in-a-Bag'' Initiative is designed to bring quality education to remote, electricity-deprived regions.
To fortify Sulu against the challenges posed by natural calamities, the DICT has delivered essential equipment, including VSAT, to the Provincial Government of Sulu through its Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.
This impactful launch and equipment turnover have sparked considerable excitement within local communities. Residents are eagerly anticipating the transformative influence of heightened connectivity and essential services, holding the promise of brighter educational prospects and broader opportunities.
The event stands as a powerful testament to the unified commitment of DICT Region IX and BASULTA in narrowing the digital divide and uplifting the overall quality of life in these designated areas. As local communities eagerly await the positive impact of improved connectivity and essential services, the successful launch becomes a beacon of hope for a future marked by progress and prosperity.
