Kapuso Foundation distributes school arm chairs and teachers' desks to Rizal public school
The Kapuso Foundation has distributed 35 school arm chairs and teachers desks to Catmon Elementary School in Rodriguez Rizal. Together with McDonalds Philippines, the Kapuso Foundation extended help to the public elementary school after it withstood damage from two of last year's typhoons, Carina and Enteng. Apart from repainting the four Kapuso classrooms that the Kapuso Foundation donated following 2009's Ondoy, GMA's charitable institution partnered with McDonalds Philippines to donate and distribute 35 school arm chairs that have been repurposed from old restaurant furniture. The chairs are a product of McDonalds Philippines' Reclassified Project, where old but still usable furniture are repurposed and are made stronger to help address the lack of chairs in public schools in the country. They spruced up the chairs, repainted them, and made them stronger and more comfortable for the kids. For good measure, also donated teachers' desks. "Malaking tulong ang mga upuan. Itong mga binigay niyo ay mako-complete somehow ang mga kakulangan ng paaralan pagdating sa upuan," said Catmon Elementary School Principal Madonna Evangelio. — LA, GMA Integrated News

1,800 students affected by classroom shortage in Naic, Cavite
There are about 1,800 students in Cavite but there are only two standard classrooms available for them. There are six make-shift rooms in nearby vacant housing units but the the quality of education may suffer with the set up in Calubcob Elementary School, according to the report of Mark Salazar on "24 Oras." Students from different classes only have a blackboard as a divider while 64 Grade Four students occupy a make-shift classroom. The vacant housing units in Barangay Calubcob, which are used as classrooms, are only 30 square meters wide. There are about 45 to 50 students crowded together in the unit. There are also not enough armchairs. A school building is under construction in a nearby lot but there are no details provided by the project board of the Department of Public Works and Highways as to the date of completion. Some teachers said the construction started in 2023. The teachers have to make sacrifices that may affect the quality of their lessons. One teacher said that school work is limited with the lack of a laboratory and ICT room that students can use. Another teacher said physical activities are limited because there is no space for much movement. There is a lack of teachers in Calubcob, the Grade 6 class is composed of 65 students in one room but they are on standby because there is still no teacher for MAPE or Music, Arts, and Physical Education. The situation in Calubcon Elementary School, Salazar reports, is a reflection of other classrooms in different parts of the country.

Rescuers take hours to free teen's arm from canal grating in Cebu City
It took rescuers five hours to free a teenager whose arm got stuck in a canal cover in Barangay Santo Niño, Cebu City. According to Alan Domingo's Thursday report on '24 Oras,' the 15-year-old was trying to retrieve some coins from the sewer on Plaridel Street. The rescuers first tried using a reciprocating saw, but had to look for another option after five blades broke on the sturdy grill. The boy's arm, meanwhile, had swollen from being stuck for so long. 'Sobra ang pagkakaipit na kung gagamitan naming ng power tools, natatakot kami na baka mas lalong maiipit [His arm was stuck so tight that we were afraid of using power tools, because he might get even more stuck],' Fire Officer 3 James Formentera said in Bisaya. Finally, after working on the cover with a hydraulic cutter and handheld saws, the rescuers were finally able to extricate the boy. He was brought to the hospital and is now in good condition. The teenager was among those called 'kawkaw,' who make a living by retrieving coins from canals. He said he had been able to retrieve about P50 worth of coins. — Mariel Celine Serquiña/BM, GMA Integrated News
