This, Evardone announced during a program at the Eugenio Abunda Elementary School in Campesao, Borongan City on August 5, 2011. The lawmaker said that he was able to get the support of President Benigno Simeon Aquino lll as PNoy also shares his mission of caring for the underprivileged sector.

Evardone praised the school heads for its achievement rate of 89.7% in the National Achievement Test.

“I have also asked from Senator Drilon for five more classrooms in Eastern Samar,” Evardone added, getting applause from DepEd officials. The lawmaker also announced that he will support the sports development of the DepEd athletes in the province.

To Sulat, the lawmaker pledged to donate musical instruments much like the rondalla formed by the Eugenio Abunda Elementary School.

The rondalla which played during the program was equipped with instruments courtesy of ‘Tito Boy Abunda” the TV host who is a native of Campesao, Borongan.

The lawmaker was visibly pleased with the rondalla rendition that he would want one for his native Sulat. Evardone hails from the island barangay of Sulat named San Vicente.

Evardone was joined by Mayor Fe Abunda of Borongan, the Regional Director of DepEd Dr. Luisa Yu, celebrity Boy Abunda and a host of DepEd personalities, provincial and city officials in Eastern Samar.
