ACS Turns Over Books and Lapel Mics

Last June 10, ACS Manufacturing Corporation, represented by its PCO Mr Mark Lester V. Naredo, turned over 280 books in English, Science, Filipino, Information Technology and Math and 8 units of lapel microphones for Canlubang Elementary School.

In Canlubang Elementary School, there is 1 teacher for every 36 students. This ratio is still acceptable in DepEd standards. However, the proximity of the school in the industrial area and the dense population of the school would need teachers to strain their vocal cords in order to be understood by all students. To address the problem, the funds generated from ACS ULABs were allocated to buy 8 sets of lapel microphones.

The reference books, in turn, will aid the teachers in their preparation of lesson plans and classroom activities.

This is the 2nd year that ACS has provided assistance to the school through their Motolite-PBSP Balik Baterya funds. 

ACS Turns Over Instructional Materials to Canlubang ES

Donating 640 kilos of used lead-acid batteries to the Motolite-PBSP Balik Baterya Program’s Project LEAP, ACS Manufacturing Corp. was able to turn over instructional books and CDs in English and Science to Canlubang Elementary School.

The company is represented by its Pollution Control Officers Ms. Jan Penny Zaldarriaga and Ms. Elenita Parreno.

Canlubang ES is one of the least performing schools in Calamba City. The school’s Overall Mean Percentage Score for the past 3 school years is at 49%, way below the 75% passing rate. The poor performance is attributed to inadequate textbooks and teaching personnel. Pupil-to-textbook ratio is at 2:1 in all subjects and teachers are decreasing for the past three school years. The donation aims to supplement existing teaching materials and will benefit the school’s current population of 1,211 public elementary students and 31 teachers.

As show of gratitude to the Balik Baterya donation, the students had musical performance showcasing their talents in playing bamboo instruments.
