In an endeavor to extend educational opportunities to remote areas, and true to its commitment to foster inclusive education despite various obstacles, the Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation, Inc. (CLFI), together with the Armed Forces of the Philippines Western Command (AFP WESCOM), has recently expanded its reach to Pag-Asa Island in the West Philippine Sea.

This move aims to provide teaching tools and IT equipment to make quality education more accessible and meaningful for residents of the island, contributing to the holistic development of its community.

Pag-Asa Island, situated in the disputed Spratly Archipelago, has faced various challenges, including limited educational resources due to its remoteness. Recognizing this need, CLFI has courageously stepped in to bridge the gap by offering educational support and initiatives tailored to the island’s unique circumstances.

Present in the turnover of donation items were CLFI’s Executive Director Jonathan D. Batangan, AFP WESCOM Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos, Commander of Naval Forces Reserve Captain Norman Biola, Chief of Staff Commander 21st Naval Group Commander Marie Paul de Luna and LGU representatives who received donation items such as laptop, printers, smart TV, external hard drive, paper supplies, among others.

As CLFI continues its mission to promote inclusive education, its initiatives on Pag-Asa Island stand as a beacon of hope, showcasing the transformative power of education in even the most challenging environments. With steadfast dedication and unwavering support, CLFI remains committed to building a better future for all through inclusive education.
