CALASIAO, Pangasinan - It takes the intervention of the mayor here who donated 200 monobloc arm chairs for several students to have their regular classes.

“Pasalamat ho kami doon sa kanila from BNHS. We have that 200 arm chairs kasi po as of this time we do conduct our classes in shifting because we lack chairs. And so we assured the parents by next school year we have the regular session,” Dr. Genvevz Erto Ballesteros, the Principal of Buenlag National High School (BNHS), told Northern Watch Newspaper.
