A feeding program highlighted by Jollibee meals followed the reading session, which was attended by 135 individuals. This program helps children develop lifelong reading habits, support reluctant readers, increases the child’s knowledge database, motivates them to read for fun, and improves overall reading skills.

It was a productive and fun day of learning for the students of PNHS, aimed at making positive changes to their young lives.
