 About 60 scholars of the provincial governor Hon.

Education Program Supervisor in Filipino Mr. Joseph E. Jarasa served as the first trainer on the first day; he dealt with the Science of Reading and How the Brain Works in Reading. Learnings underscored that learning to talk is a natural process among children, but learning to read is not. So, it must be taught explicitly.
