“Currently, I am residing in Culion, one of the municipalities in the province of Palawan. Online schooling was not easy since the internet connection was not that good, the power interruptions are unpredicted, and my access to gadget was limited. The tablet that was given to me was a great help. It lessened the burden of my situation. I am striving and doing my best to learn, achieve quality education, and cope with the current situation. Thank you, CEU.“, said Yvette Jane Garcia, a Pharmacy student and one of the tablet recipients.
