Sharing joy, one smile at a time!

Last June 27 and 30, 2025, our STI NSTP Organization brought hope and happiness through a meaningful gift-giving activity to daycare children across Balayan. A total of 126 young learners from Barangay 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and Calzada received school supplies to support their learning journey. 💛👧👦

Spearheaded by NSTP Coordinator Mr. Jonathan P. Pantoja, together with Teacher Calvin M. Caringal and Teacher Robert De Chavez, this initiative was made even more impactful thanks to the support and dedication of the daycare teachers who care for these children every day.

Thank you for being part of this meaningful mission! 🌟
