The City Government of Caloocan will be providing students with a free haircut program to be held at various elementary and secondary schools starting on Saturday, August 26 until September 1, just in time for the re-opening of classes.
City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan encouraged all public school students to avail of the “libreng gupit” and prepare themselves for the start of a new school year.
“Simulan natin ang bagong school year na presko ang isipan at pangangatawan! Kaya po bilang paghahanda, inaanyayahan ko po ang lahat ng Batang Kankaloo na dumalo sa ating inihandang ‘libreng gupit’ sa iba’t-ibang paaralan sa ating lungsod,” Mayor Along stated.
Likewise, the local chief executive also noted that the city government has already made preparations for the resumption of classes on August 29, including programs for student assistance as well as plans for public order and safety.
“Sigurado pong handang-handa na ang ating mga mag-aaral sa balik-eskwela ngayong taon kaya po tiniyak din natin na handa rin pong tumugon ang pamahalaang lungsod sa kanilang mga pangangailangan,” the City Mayor said.
“Kamakailan lamang ay sinimulan na ang Brigada Eskwela sa iba’t-ibang paaralan sa ating lungsod, at hanggang ngayon ay tuloy-tuloy din ang pagbibigay natin ng tulong sa programang ito. Inatasan na rin po natin ang kapulisan at iba pang mga public safety units na siguruhin ang kaligtasan at kaayusan sa pagbubukas ng klase sa Martes,” Mayor Along added.
Meanwhile, additional dates and venues for the “libreng gupit” are scheduled to be added to the initial release by the city government. –
