In observance of the 14th Community Relations Service (CRS) Month, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Brooke’s Point District Jail conducted the outreach initiative “Tulong sa Komunidad, Bayang Maunlad” at Amas Central Elementary School. This program highlights BJMP’s commitment to extend public service beyond correctional facilities and strengthen community ties.
The event, held on Friday, featured read-a-book sessions for Grades 1 to 3, aimed at fostering early literacy and cultivating a lifelong love for reading among students. In addition to the reading sessions, the “Sopas on Wheels: SO-FAST” program provided over 200 bowls of sopas (soup) to the students, emphasizing the importance of nutritious meals in supporting young learners’ growth and readiness for school.
“By combining volunteer-driven reading sessions with essential nourishment, BJMP Brooke’s Point continues to build trust and compassion within the community,” said Jail Officer 3 Joefrie Anglo, information officer of BJMP-Mimaropa.
Through this outreach effort, BJMP reaffirmed its dedication to a broader vision of public safety, one that emphasizes shared responsibility, societal advancement, and genuine care for the welfare of its citizens.
