We, the leaders, fellows, and members of the Kaya Natin! Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership and the Jesse M. Robredo Foundation, wholeheartedly express our robust support for Senator Bam Aquino’s Classroom-Building Acceleration Program Act (Senate Bill No. 121).
We urgently call upon President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. to certify this vital bill as urgent. The nation faces a significant, crisis-level shortage of classrooms and learning spaces, directly impacting the quality of education for millions of Filipino children. This legislative measure is crucial for immediately addressing this gap.
This program is more than just construction; it is a critical investment in our youth and a reflection of our shared commitment to ensuring every Filipino child has access to safe, well-equipped, and conducive learning environments. By prioritizing partnership with local government units and communities, the Act embodies the core principles of people-centered governance and participatory leadership championed by the late Secretary Jesse Robredo.
Accelerating classroom construction nationwide will not only resolve the infrastructure deficit but will also strengthen the necessary collaboration between national and local leaders to advance essential education reform.
We stand united with Senator Aquino in this effort to secure the future of our children and build a better, fairer, and more hopeful Philippines for every Filipino family.
