Panaghoy Children’s Foundation founder and gubernatorial candidate Cesar Montano, met with potential donors of computers at a luncheon meeting and press conference at the Bohol Tropics resort Wednesday. Some 3,000 computers have been offered to be donated by a company called Loral. These computers will be initially handed to a Foundation called Direct Effect, who will in turn, give the donated desk top computers to Panaghoy Children’s Foundation for distribution among the different schools in the province, particularly to those who could not afford to provide their students of such facility.
Among the personalities present during the meeting was Mr. Pablito Yra, representative of Loral, Mr. Joe Ofamen, head of Direct Effect Foundation, and Cesar Montano’s wife, Ms. Sunshine Cruz.
Despite the potential positive result of such proposal, Yra stressed that although he may want to donate all computers to the province, the approval of the officials in his company is still needed so that the project can push through. Yra also added that the computers have been used by the satellite engineers of his company for about 3 years, but are still in good condition and are high end.
Meanwhile, Montano has assured everyone that if the project pushes through, he will be distributing the computers to institutions who deserve and need it.
