Angat Buhay expressed gratitude to several partners, including GMA Network and the highly rated game show Family Feud.

In a recent social media post, Angat Buhay highlighted the struggles faced by the students of Siain Elementary School in Buenavista, Quezon, before they finally received assistance from their partners.

"AFTER YEARS OF MAKESHIFT CLASSROOMS, A LAST-MILE SCHOOL IN QUEZON FINALLY HAS NEW ONES

For years, students of Siain Elementary School in Buenavista, Quezon held classes on the school stage and in makeshift classrooms built from sawali and other light materials. With only a few concrete classrooms for 114 learners, teachers and parents worked together to create learning spaces wherever they could.

But these classrooms were far from ideal. During the summer, the small rooms became unbearably hot. When it rained, water would often seep in, forcing students to crowd together just to stay dry.

Today, those students finally have new classrooms to call their own."

GMA Network and Family Feud were mentioned as supporters of the two-classroom building for Siain Elementary School in Quezon Province.

"Through the support of GMA Network, Family Feud Philippines, Myriad USA, and VXI, Angat Buhay has turned over a two-classroom building for Siain Elementary School, a last-mile school in Quezon Province. The last concrete classroom the school received was fourteen years ago.

The new classrooms are equipped with toilets, electric fans, desks, chairs, bookshelves, and other materials to support teaching and learning. Students also received school bags through the support of Knowell."

Angat Buhay also expressed its gratitude for the support they received in creating a better environment for children.

"Maraming salamat to GMA Network, Family Feud Philippines, Myriad USA, VXI, and to the Siain Elementary School community, whose dedication continues to create better spaces and brighter futures for their children. Taos-pusong pasasalamat po."

In a separate post, Dingdong Dantes shared a message for Angat Buhay and Siain Elementary School. He explained that this project was made possible through donations from the Family Feud contestants for Angat Buhay.

He said, "Mabuhay po Siain Elementary School. On behalf of the entire Family Feud Philippines team and GMA Network. I want to express our deepest gratitude for giving us a chance to be part of your journey.

Isa pong malaking karangalan sa amin ang makatulong sa pagpapatayo ng inyong bagong one-storey two-classroom building. Ang proyektong ito ay naging posible dahil sa malasakit ng ating Family Feud contestants, because the funds that they donated to Angat Buhay served as a bridge to build this infrastructure. Tunay po talaga na ang bawat laro sa aming studio ay nagbubunga ng tulong at pag-asa para sa ating mga kababayan. Inaalay po namin ang mga bagong classroom na ito para sa ating mga mag-aaral sa early grades. Our prayer is for every corner of this building to serve as a foundation for their dreams."

Dingdong also shared their hopes for the children at Siain Elementary School.

"Sana ay maging ligtas po na silungan ito kung saan malaya silang matututo at maglaro. It is a symbol of hope that nothing is impossible when we work together. Sa mga guro, sa mga magulang, at leader ng Siain Elementary School, maraming salamat sa inyong dedikasyon at paggabay sa ating mga kabataan."

He continued, "We believe that education is the top answer to a brighter future. Proud po kaming makahanay ang buong komunidad ng Siain Elementary School sa proyektong ito."
