PASAY CITY, Mar. 13 -- Sen. Grace Poe called on broadcast firms seeking the renewal of their franchises to steadfastly carry out their role in enabling students across the country to benefit from distance learning.
"We must provide all the necessary support to our students, especially those whose only dependable access to learning is through the broadcast media at this time of pandemic," stressed Poe, chairperson of the Senate committee on public services.
"Ibuhos natin lahat ng ating magagawa lalo na para sa ating mga mahihirap na mag-aaral upang sila ay matuto at hindi mapag-iwanan sa gitna ng kanilang kalagayan sa hagupit ng pandemya. Sila ang ating pag-asa," Poe reiterated.
