Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide, long running, voluntary campaign held by the Department of Education since 2003. The activity aims to enjoin the entire community into the spirit of Bayanihan by bringing teachers, parents, soldiers, police officers, and other concerned sector together in doing clean up and repairs within the school setting.
"Ngayon po ay simula ng Brigada Eskwela, nagpapasalamat po kami at naimbitahan muli upang makatulong sa kapwa naming Pilipino," [Today is the start of our Brigada Eskwela, I thank the organizers for inviting us so we could help again] says a reservist belonging to the Army Reserve Command.
During the activity, our soldiers from both regular and reserve forces of the Armed Forces of the Philippines will help not only in cleaning and fixing school facilities. The versatility of our skill set can also offer in maintaining computer and electrical aspects of the school as well as the infrastructural repairs needed in order to promote safety among the students who will be using it in the next school opening.
The Brigada Eskwela 2013 will kick off starting on May 20 and will end on the 25.
