In her post, Villa shared the reason why they are not using video conferencing platforms such as Zoom or Google Meet: “Because our smart students cannot afford to buy load for that and many have connectivity issues but find a way out of it, and are only grateful that the university will give them tablets with their learning packets in all subjects already uploaded.”

It came to such a point [when] one student said he brought along an old galvanized iron sheet to serve as his roof on the hill.”
