BALANGA CITY, Bataan – The Balanga City government through the leadership of Mayor Francis Garcia opened 6 additional Barangay Learning Hubs (BLH) in 6 villages here.

Tarra Ann Pagdanganan, OIC City Education and Excellence Education Office, said newly opened were BLHs in Barangays Ibayo, Tortugas, Puerto Rivas Lote, Cupang West, Tenejero, and Tuyo successively in a single day recently.

“Computer technology and internet must be accessible to all both rich and poor alike, there should be no more digital divide”, Garcia stressed in his message in the BLH opening program held in Barangay Tuyo covered court.

“We will achieve this in the entire city in all barangays”, he vowed. At the BLH, local folks can use computers with internet to do research and study for free.

Pagdanganan said there are now currently 9 BLHs in the city including those in Barangays Dona Francisca, Cupang Proper and Cataning.

She said the city government assigned one facilatator to each BLH to become steward and guide among users.
