“This Pahinungod volunteerism inspired our teachers in starting their action research because the UP volunteers were very accommodating in guiding them in every step”, said CCDCAGMNHS Principal Marilou dela Cuesta.

GNHS School Head Minerva Arnaba added that her teachers were very active in making their research proposal. She said, “The volunteers were very humble and friendly in coaching the teachers in narrowing the topic to the methodology.” In her message, UP Cebu volunteer Dr. Cuizon said that the experience showed a good partnership between UP and the community. |via Alaiza Heaven Delantar
