+ January 06, 2021 WHEN Reynalyn Manansala, a native of Guagua, Pampanga, stopped schooling at the age of 15 to work and help support her family, that did not stop her from believing that her dream of finishing her studies will come true sooner or later. Even as she married and became a mother of two at an early age, she saw the opportunity to go back to school through the Alternative Learning System (ALS) implemented by the Department of Education.
Or when the 65-year-old Aida Morales of Gapan City in Nueva Ecija became one of the 15,102 successful takers of the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Test held in February 2019 after being able to complete her elementary education through the ALS Program, anyone who has that same desire to get a diploma will be encouraged to follow suit and become one of the countless people who believe that with ALS, everything is possible.
