On August 8, 2025, the Bia: Baba Baya project team, led by Ms. Francis May Valmorida and supported by Ms. Kristel Alivio, Ms. Mary Grace Cosicol, Ms. Marjorie Hermosora, and Ms. Nomel Alyssa T. Andan, made a meaningful visit to Biasong Elementary School. Together with the school’s faculty, the team worked to finalize important details for the extension program, focusing on identifying students who would benefit most from the support. They also made sure to update the list from last year’s initiative, ensuring no student in need was overlooked.

Over a working lunch, the team and faculty shared their thoughts on the program’s next steps, discussing everything from the schedule to the logistical details, all with the goal of making sure the program would run smoothly. Throughout the conversation, it was clear that the faculty were not only on board, but fully invested in the project’s success. Their enthusiasm and dedication were evident.

But what truly made the visit memorable was the warmth and kindness shown by the faculty and staff. From the moment the team arrived, they were greeted with genuine smiles, hospitality, and a deep sense of teamwork. The energy and support in the room were palpable, reinforcing the strong partnership between the team and the school, and leaving everyone feeling inspired and ready for the next steps in this meaningful journey.
