These secondary passers are qualified to enroll in any course in college depending on the choice of the learner.

Moreover, one of the highlights of the program is the oath taking of the newly elected officials of the ALS District I Society of Barangay Officials (ALSSBO) and ALS Learner's Organization.

The ALSSBO and ALSLO Officials were inducted into office by Atty. Danilo Bantugan representing the City Mayor, Atty. Dan Neri Lim as inducting officer.

ALSSBO is the first of its kind ever created here in the City of Tagbilaran with the main goal of creating a strong partnership between the LGU and ALS working hand in hand for the benefit of the less fortunate, the out- of- school youth and adults in the barangays of District I.

Varquez; City Kagawad Ann Mariquit Oppus; ALS Supervisor Dr. Crestianita V. Caga; Mahito from Japan; Brgy. Officials and around 160 learners from District I.

Peligro. - The Bohol Chronicle
