Davao City First District Representative Paolo “Pulong” Duterte, represented by his son Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II, and businessman Glenn Escandor turned over six sets of solar-powered lights to Jesus J. Soriano National High School in Catalunan Grande, Davao City on Wednesday.

The turnover ceremony was led by Rigo and Escandor held at the school ground. The ceremony was also witnessed by some school officials and students.

School principal Emy Gocong said the solar lights can help light up even the corners of the school.

“Mapasalamaton kaayo mi kay Congressman Pulong ug sa iyahang anak nga si Rigo ug kay sir Escandor kay magkaroon nami ug suga bisan pa sa layo nga parte sa eskwelahan,” Gocong said.

Apart from providing educational assistance, improving the safety of a community including schools by providing lighting and access to power are also among the programs of Rep. Duterte.
