The Muntinlupa City government has started the distribution of free Balik Eskwela packages to public school students. 

Mayor Ruffy Biazon visited schools to distribute the free school supplies and shoes, which will benefit nearly 100,000 public school students from early education to senior high school. 

Each Balik Eskwela package contains backpacks, notebooks, pad papers, pens and pencils, pencil case and black leather shoes. 

This is the third year that the Biazon administration will give free school supplies to public school students in Muntinlupa. 

“Ginagawa natin ang lahat para masuportahan ang kinabukasan ng kabataang Muntinlupeño. Kaya yearly din ang distribution natin ng Balik Eskwela packages bilang tulong sa mga gastusin ng mga pamilya at paghahanda ng mga estudyante sa panibagong school year (We are doing everything we can to support the future of Muntinlupeño youth. That is why we also distribute Balik Eskwela packages annually to help families with their expenses and prepare students for the new school year),” Biazon posted on Facebook. 

He added, “Ang hiling lang natin sa ating mga kabataan—mag-aral nang mabuti (Our only request to our youth is to study hard).”
