The team came during the week of the Brigada Eskwela. Brigada Eskwela is an annual program held by Department of Education two (2) weeks before the official start of classes, it harnesses the community spirit for schools.

“The annual Brigada Eskwela is our version of modern ‘bayanihan’ where all sectors pitch in to make sure that our schools are clean, safe, disaster-prepared and conducive to learning when students troop back to the schools in June,” Education Secretary Armin Luistro said in a statement.
