The Davao City Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative (IPMR) is set to start a campaign encouraging parents from the Indigenous community to send their children to school as part of their goal to produce a group of IP graduates from different tribes through the Iskolar ng Tribu Program.
Councilor Rodolfo Mande, said during the Aprobado sa Konseho press conference at the Sangguniang Panlungsod on Tuesday morning, April 2, 2024, that one of their challenges for the program is disseminating its benefits and advantages to the IP parents who are still adamant when it comes to education. 'The parents kasi they don't really know the importance of education, that's why mag-campaign pa mi didto sa mga ginikanan para ma-encourage sila to push their children to school ( parents still don't know the importance of education, that's why we will do a campaign to encourage them in sending their children to school)', he sai
