Parents, students, & child rights groups stage a first-day-of-school protest in front of the Pres. Corazon C. Aquino Elem. School in Quezon City. The Salinlahi Alliance for Children’s Concerns said many Filipino families have been struggling to make ends meet to both survive the pandemic and come up with money to buy gadgets and mobile data load for learners.
