PLDT exec Gary Dujali says the Gabay Guro project started 9 years ago when PLDT and Smart executives thought of this advocacy to help change and improve the lives of unsung heroes like teachers who touch the lives of all of us. Since then, Gabay Guro has conducted extra training for over 16,000 teachers all over the country in 8 training programs that include English Proficiency, Leadership Training, Information Technology, EQ (Emotional Intelligence) Improvement, Unleashing Creativity in Teaching, etc.
They have also constructed new classrooms in disaster stricken areas like Cebu, Bohol, Leyte and Capiz. They’ve also given laptops and broadband connectivity to various schools and put up a scholarship program for future teachers. So far, they’ve helped in graduating 1,100 scholars nationwide, 137 of whom graduated with honors as cum laude or magna cum laude.
Gabay Guro started with 900 member teachers and now, they have 20,000 members already. Chaye Revilla, one of the leading lights of Gabay Guro, says: “Our nation’s children depend on our nation’s teachers to guide them to a better future. This teacher’s month, Gabay Guro pays tribute to them who teach and nurture our next generation of nation builders.”
