A STAUNCH advocate of education, Rep. Camille Villar is providing the youth of Las Piñas City a conducive space for learning through the establishment of Kabataan Centers in the city’s barangays.
In pursuit of this, Villar recently turned over the first Kabataan Center to leaders of the Sangguniang Kabataan of Barangay Pulang Lupa Uno.
Envisioned to serve as an e-library, the Center is equipped with computers, printers, a photocopy machine for research and printing, and a free Wi-Fi connection that allows it access to digital resources for learning.
The Center is likewise provided with books and has a meeting space where children can gather and study together.
The construction of the 63 sqm Pulang Lupa Uno Kabataan Center started on May 13, 2024 and finished on May 31. It was inaugurated on July 6.
“Mahalaga ang edukasyon para sa ating mga kabataan. Sa pamamagitan ng mga Kabataan Centers na ating ipinatatayo, layunin natin na matulungan ang mga kabataan sa kanilang pag-aaral,” Villar said.
Villar has filed House Bill No. 9572, or the proposed E-books for the Barangay Program Act, which includes a digital library platform that will provide a secure and organized database of digital learning resources.
