Tonglayan ES United: Community Steps Up After Typhoon Uwan

In the wake of Typhoon Uwan's destructive path, Tonglayan Elementary School sprang into action with its "Brigada Plus" initiative on November 19-20, 2025. The typhoon left behind eroded riprap, leaky roofs, and shattered windows, but the combined forces of DepEd personnel and dedicated PTA members turned adversity into action.

Volunteers worked tirelessly to relocate displaced stones near the Grade 5 and 6 classrooms and carried out restoration of the stockroom roof which had sustained significant damage. This united effort underscores the community's commitment to providing a safe and functional learning environment for its students, proving that even after nature's fury, bayanihan spirit prevails.

a poem for the two retirees:

"Golden years, a time to shine,
Free from schedules, worries left behind.
Pursue your passions, live with glee,
Retirement's gift, a chance to be free.

Relax, recharge, and take your time,
Make memories, and savor each rhyme.
You've earned it, after all your years,
Of hard work, laughter, and joyful tears.

Here's to new adventures, and sunny days,
May retirement bring you joyous ways."
