                                                         Construct School Library


                                                         By Mhanny Agusto, Communication

          Biñan City, Laguna — From simply just                 program that sets to assist schools thru
          sketches and plans, the dream of Tomas                providing supplies and facilities
          A. Toralba Elementary School (TATES) in               conducive to the students’ learning and
          having its very own school library is now             helps promote the spirit of Bayanihan in
          taking shape thanks to the donation of                the areas they visit.
          Metro Pacific Tollways (MPT) South.

          Last August 3, 2018, headed by its
          Community Relations Team, MPT South
          responded to the need of TATES and
          handed over construction materials that
          will be used for the establishment of
          their school library.


          Every teacher can attest how important
          it is for an educational institution to
          have this kind of facility. “We believe that
          having a library is very helpful to pupils
          wherein they can read, do their
          assignments and borrow books,” said
          Ms. Grace Dayao, Librarian of Tomas A.
          Toralba Elementary School. “On behalf
          of all the teachers, staff, and hundreds of
          students of TATES, we’d like to extend
          our deepest gratitude to MPT South in
          helping us with this project,” Dayao
          added.


          As part of its CSR efforts in giving back
          to the community, MPT South’s
          donation will greatly aid in building a
          small yet well-organized library that will
          be supplemental to the students’
          education. This is also part of a series of
          Brigada Eskwela projects of the                            (L-R) MPT South Community Relations Ramsie Legaspi,
                                                                               TATES Librarian Grace Dayao,
          company – an annual community-based                            and MPTS Community Relations Leslie Saulog
