On October 25, 2023, PCC, along with the Philippine Tiu Gan Family Association, Philippine Kho’s Family Association, and Philippine Lao Too Family Association, held a book drive in front of the Narra Daycare. Students from PCC, Dr. Polly Wee Sy, Dr. Sining Marcos Kotah, and Mrs. Peggie Gan, arrived at 8:00 AM to help and arrange the books for donation. Each kid was given Reading and Mathematics books and a box of crayons.
This book drive was initiated by the Former Principal of PCC, Mr. Emilio Gan, in the ’90s, and has been going on for about three decades. Dr. Kotah, when asked what she felt about giving to these children, said that she was “honored and privileged” because sustaining this endeavor impacted the lives of the children and helped form their character. She also said that she felt indebted to Mr. Emilio Gan and all the associations that took part in this meaningful endeavor for their cooperation and efforts to give education to the children of Narra Daycare. This was also a privilege to all PCCians since “we are allowed to give what we have to the people who need it most.”
