The City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) purchased a total of 55,555 activity books that include ABC practice books on reading, writing, science and math. 

The mayor led social workers headed by Uldarico Fabian in the distribution of the books, authored by Raffy Gamad, a registered social worker. The practice book in reading was prepared and revised particularly for preschool children in day-care centers. Each lesson or page contains directions or instructions for the parents, workers and guardians on how to manage the lesson plan. 

Child development workers and parents lauded the distribution of the books that will benefit the children. 

In January 2019, the Climaco administration also distributed over 26,000 books to day- care centers. (Zamboanga Post)
