Six public schools in Taguig now have free Wi-Fi, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Adopt-a-School Program by the non-profit organization Hands On Manila and DITO Telecommunity.
Included among the six public schools in Taguig with free 5G internet are the Cipriano P. Sta. Teresa Elementary School, Silangan Elementary School, Taguig Integrated School, Napindan Integrated School, South Daang Hari Elementary School, and Taguig National High School.
More than 30,000 students are benefiting from their studies through the provision of free Wi-Fi in their schools.
Joyce Capacillo, Head of the Home Business Unit at DITO Telecommunity believes this initiative is about more than just a technical solution to limited internet access.
"It represents hope for students to pursue their dreams. Lack of internet connectivity not only limits students' access to educational resources, but it also hinders their ability to navigate and fully engage in a digital environment, a skill that is crucial for their future," according to Capacillo.
