DAGUPAN CITY — The local government unit here has turned over PHP2 million worth of musical instruments and multimedia equipment to students of Dagupan City National High School Special Program for the Arts (SPA).
Mayor Belen Fernandez, in an interview on Thursday, said the instruments include several indigenous musical instruments, a variety of guitars, drum sets and keyboards, among others.
Aside from musical instruments, the local government also gave the students equipment like microphones, television sets, speakers and desktop computers.
“This is in order for them to produce quality output, and to enhance their skills in the multimedia and the arts,” she said.
In her message to the students during the turn-over ceremony on Tuesday, Fernandez emphasized her full support for the children’s passion for the arts and urged them to pursue their dreams, while fulfilling their obligation to learn at the same time.
“I want every young Dagupeño to finish their studies so they can all be competitive,” she added.
The awarded items will be placed in the SPA building — a city-funded structure, which caters to students from Grade 7 to 10 with affinity to talents, creativity and the arts. (Ahikam Pasion/PNA)
