Marcos inspects Bulacan school for Brigada Eskwela 2025

President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. inspected Monday the ongoing school preparations at Barihan Elementary School in Malolos, Bulacan as part of the Brigada Eskwela 2025.

Together with Education Secretary Sonny Angara and son William Vincent, Marcos checked the ongoing repairs on ceilings, windows, doors, and chairs of classrooms to ensure that these are all safe and ready for students in the coming school year. 

The Brigada Eskwela 2025 will run from June 9 to 13, involving teachers, parents and volunteers who are working together to prepare the public schools for the opening of classes. 

Angara said the Barihan Elementary School was chosen so that the President could witness the current state of public schools. 

Despite the onset of the rainy season, Angara also said the schools are ready for the opening of classes next week. 

''June 16, medyo maulan na ho pero hindi kasing-lakas noong nakaraang taon, noong 2024 nagbukas tayo eh halos buong Metro Manila, buong Cavite, CALABARZON, lubog na sa ulan eh maganda na inagahan na po ng ating Pangulo 'yung pasukan natin,'' Angara told reporters.

(It's already rainy but the rains are not that heavy like last year. In 2024, when we opened classes, almost the entire Metro Manila, Cavite, and CALABARZON were submerged in water. So it's good that the President declared an earlier opening of classes.) 

Meanwhile, over 300 bags filled with basic school supplies will be handed out at Barihan Elementary School on the first day of classes on June 16, 2025. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
