Academe embraces consumer advocacy programs

The DTI Guimaras recently conducted an information drive with members of Consumer Rights Advocacy of the Youth and Netizens (CRAYONS) Club of Simeon J. Jabasa National High School.

CRAYONS was organized last year with students, teachers and parents as its members.

Since its organization, the group has been an active partner of the DTI on its consumer related activities. Ciara Alessandra D. Castillo is the club president while Karen Castillo is the teacher-adviser.

This year, CRAYONS wanted to reach more consumers in the barangay so that they can share information for vigilance and protection.

Other schools in the Province of Guimaras with DTI consumer advocate clubs are Jordan National High School, Buenavista National High School, Sta. Teresa National High School, Salvacion National High School, Cabalagnan National High School, Nueva Valencia National High School, Supang National High School and Dr. Catalino Gallego Nava Memorial National High School.
