 The Brigada Harana serves as a way to
awaken the spirit of volunteerism through singing
original compositions related to Brigada Eskwela
program right in front of their houses. A letter of
information is distributed to the household of
different Barangays by coordinating with the
Barangay Local Government Unit (BLGU) ahead of
time. This is quite similar with Christmas caroling
Most Effective and Practical Resource Generation
Strategies
 Pantomina para sa Brigada is an addition this year,
which is also considered as an old practice proven to be a good
source of resources. There’s no expenses for this practice, only a
dancing skill and a danceable partner. The principal and the
municipal mayor courageously perform the pantomina dance and
roam around with a basket on their hands. Stakeholders who are
present during the launching willingly share what they have from
their pocket.
Most Effective and Practical Resource Generation
Strategies

a Cause has a ticket worth Three Hundred Fifty pesos (Php 350.00) with food
and drinks to consume. The Alumni Association does everything, minor tasks
were given to the Faculty & Staff like printing of tickets and helping them for
marketing. Majority of the performers are alumni and free of charge.

Additional support from LGU is very evident for this was held at Pamplona
Sports Complex without any monetary obligation as to the venue, electricity,
and other amenities. Two Thousand (2000) tickets were sold.
