Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano read the story "May Sampung Langgam" in front of the children gathered at the Upper Bicutan Multipurpose Building.
Cayetano praised the City Library of Taguig's project of reading books to children in line with the celebration's theme "Read. Dream. Celebrate."
"The weakness in children's performance is related to a lack of proficiency in reading and understanding what is read. I hope we continue and help not only in the Department of Education and City Government, but even at home, we should make it a habit to practice reading," Cayetano said.
The City Library of Taguig also distributed children's books, toys, and snacks to the children and parents who attended the book reading.
According to the City Library of Taguig, the initiative aims to promote a love for reading, enhance children's ability to think and listen, and value storytelling as a method for education and cultural preservation.
