CATBALOGAN CITY  –  The Samar II Electric Cooperative (SAMELCO II) installed free electrical wiring and electric meter connection to Barangay San Mauricio Elementary School in Calbiga, Samar on July 17, 2012.

The school is one of the recipients of “Hatag Kahayag” project, a light a school activity of SAMELCO II.

The activity was assisted by the officers of the school’s parents-teachers association led by its president Lito Labalan together with the barangay council’s education committee Chairperson, Kagawad Angeles Pacayra.

SAMELCO II has started to implement the “Hatag Kahayag” in 2011 in Barangay Pangpang Primary School in Villareal, Samar as the first beneficiary.

SAMELCO II supports the development of the quality of life of Samarnons through education, facilitated by a conducive learning environment- a well lighted school.

According to Marilyn Tan, the teacher in-charge of the school, they can now use modern audio-visual devices such as television and DVD players to complement their conventional teaching methods.

Tan expressed her gratitude to SAMELCO II for the benefits that “Hatag Kahayag” brought to their 140 students.

She said that with the availability of electricity in their school, teachers can now turn on fluorescent lamps to improve the lighting condition of their classrooms.

Barangay San Mauricio is an upland Barangay in Calbiga, Samar, three kilometers away from the town proper. The place is also accessible by boat through the Calbiga River.
