33 kilometers away from Panabo proper, Malabog National High School situated in Brgy. Malabog, Paquibato District received an Electrical Laboratory (e.Lab) from Davao Light and Power Co., in partnership with its social development arm the Aboitiz Foundation Inc., last February 2016.The idea of the e.Lab was created in Davao Light's support to the Department of Education's Technical Vocational Courses, such as the Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM), which is under the K-12 program.The project will help provide public schools a suitable laboratory training center that would have the tools and basic equipment necessary in the learnings of the students who have enrolled in the EIM TechVoc Course.The e.Lab will also help prepare those students who want to explore a vocational career in electricity. “The senior students, who have finished and passed the EIM Course, will be issued by TESDA with a National Certification (NC) II to become full-fledged electricians. This will give them better opportunities for employment should they not pursue college yet or might be encouraged to continue and take up Electrical Engineering.” said Fermin Edillon, Davao Light's Community Relations Manager.The e.Lab is just one of the Corporate Social Responsibility projects of Davao Light that is aimed at supporting education.MNHS is the fifth school that received an electrical laboratory from Davao Light after Davao City National High School, Bernardo Carpio National High School, Crossing Bayabas National High School and Panabo National High School. Six more e.Labs will be turned over this year.
