  | Arnel Campos, Principal, Taberna Elementary School, noted that “the bag and the shirt are very useful and timely because most of our pupils here don’t have the financial capability to buy their uniforms. For the food items, this may be their first time to have a taste of these food items. Maybe in the near future the Foundation can provide school supplies and slippers for these pupils. Again, thank you very much.” Ms. Clotilde Almaden, Amanluran Primary School thanked the Foundation for the support to pupils in “bringing cheers not just to them but to their parents as well.” Imee Berdos, School in-charge, Himacugo Elementary School, touched by the effort commented, “with open hearts, the benefited recipients were really grateful to the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc.
