NARRATIVE REPORT ON BRIGADA ESKWELA 2023
"Bayanihan para sa Matatag na Paaralan " was a battle cry for this year's
Brigada Eskwela. The "Brigada Eskwela" has transformed through the years. From a
simple gathering of stakeholders from the community, particularly parents of learners, to
do clean up and minor repairs in school facilities, it has become a "fiesta" or a grand
gathering of partners from both private and public sector coming together for the benefit
of public-school learners.
Pre-implementation Stage
School Facilities Coordinator, Sir Reynaldo B. Lapak, assessed the physical
facilities and maintenance needs with the help of the School Watching Team and
Parents-Teachers Association. Brigada Eskwela Working Committees, was also
created, which was done to ensure teachers, non-teaching personnel, parents, learners,
community members, and stakeholders were all part of the effort. Also, we conducted
public awareness campaigns and established partnerships for resource mobilization,
carefully identified target resources and potential volunteers.
Day 1 - August 14, 2023
During Kick-off Program which was started at 8 am, had a talk about the whole
plan, work assignments, daily activities and other concerns for Brigada Eskwela. After
the program, teachers and volunteers from different organizations went to their
respective tasks. The energy was palpable as volunteers, including eager learners and
dedicated parents, gathered to start Brigada Eskwela. Our initial task was a campus-
wide clean-up involving sweeping the grounds to remove litter and debris. Repainting
and repairing of classrooms, chairs, and other school furniture were started.

On second day, more volunteers coming from different institutions such as
Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Costums, arrived. Mayor
Dong Calugay, with his cohort, brought donations and helped repaint Gabaldon
building. The teamwork was inspiring as we assessed classrooms for unnecessary
decorations and posters. Oversized signages with commercial content were removed,
aligning with the guidelines. Volunteers helped in removing distractions from classroom
walls.
