MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., and Education Secretary Sonny Angara on Tuesday led an inspection of Brigada Eskwela activities at Kapitbahayan Elementary School, highlighting the administration’s efforts to improve campus safety and strengthen literacy programs ahead of the opening of classes.

Joined by Social Welfare Secretary Rex Gatchalian, Marcos toured the school as teachers, parents, and volunteers carried out preparations for the start of classes in public schools on June 16.

During the visit, the President inspected the school’s newly installed closed-circuit television (CCTV) system, part of the Department of Education’s (DepEd) broader initiative to enhance campus security and address concerns such as bullying, vandalism, and unauthorized entry.
