MANILA, Philippines — The creation of digital libraries may provide a solution to reports of low reading comprehension among Filipino students even at the Grade 11 level, Quezon City Rep. Patrick Michael Vargas said on Thursday.
Vargas, in a statement said that he has been pushing for e-libraries, saying that his House Bills (HB) No. 3752 to 3765 seek to build computerized learning hubs for the 14 barangays under his jurisdiction, Quezon City’s fifth district.
The lawmaker said that his area can serve as the pilot test of the program, and if it is successful, the government can copy the formula to build e-libraries in every barangay in the country.
“We will initiate it in our district to show that it is a viable solution. Hopefully, the rest of Quezon City will also adopt it and later on the rest of the country,” Vargas said.
