These foods will be served to students in the affected areas five times a week for two months, Deriquito said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the school kits include a backpack, four notebooks, two pads of paper, an eight-piece pack of crayons, two ballpens, and two pencils.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to address two of the students&#8217; key issues&#8211;food and school supplies&#8211;so that the children will be encouraged to return to school and get a sense of normalcy. Helping them go back to school will also ensurethat their education will not be further disrupted,&#8221; Deriquito explained.<\/p>\n<p>Individual donations and pledges will be accepted by the program. Companies may also avail a tax incentive under the Adopt-A-School program.<\/p>\n<p>Donations for school kits may be sent to the National Bookstore Foundation, Inc. through their BPI account (Acct. # 006-1054-057) while donations for the feeding program may be sent to Assisi Development Foundation -Hapag-Asa through their BPI account (Acct. # 243-1007-323).<\/p>\n<p>Interested donors may contact the Office of the Undersecretary for Partnerships and External Linkages at (+632) 633-7207, 638-8637, and 638-8639.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">For the feeding program, they may also contact Romy Parayno at rbparayno@gmail.com (for school kits), and Florence de Castro at florence.decastro@deped.gov.ph.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA &#8212; The Department of Education (DepEd) is targeting a donation of one million school kits and the feeding of &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":12666,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[6416,3462,641],"class_list":["post-18079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news-ph","tag-1m-donated-school-kits","tag-deped","tag-yolanda","mauthors-philippines-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
