The initiative provides free gadgets, internet devices, and training to schools that need them most.
Reluao on Friday inked a memorandum of agreement with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) led by Sec. Amenah F. Pangandaman, iACADEMY, GMA Kapuso Foundation, and Sparkle GMA Artist Center.
“Why Marawi? Because digital access remains a real challenge in the area,” Reluao said.
“Marawi, a city still rebuilding from conflict, deserves more than just infrastructure — it deserves empowerment. And for that, we bring tools, training, and most importantly, hope.”
