The innovations that we will do, I think these should start in Palawan. Can you please help us? What are the educational solutions that you can think of, pilot test in Palawan and share?

We’re here to see how education is brought to the farthest reaches of the Philippines especially in Culion Palawan which was once a leper colony and off limits to the ordinary Filipino.

Today it’s very open to tourists. Even then despite the influx of tourists there’s still problems with regards to bringing quality education to the remotest areas.
