According to a report by Inquirer, the “Air Binay 2.0” is part of Makati City’s Free Relevant Excellent Education (FREE) project which aims to provide free uniforms and school supplies to public school students. They also provide free anti-dengue kits, hygiene kits, raincoats, and rain boots.
“For as long as we have the financial means, we are willing to pull out all the stops to ensure that our students have everything they need, so that all they have to do is study and learn and become the best that they can be,” Mayor Binay said.
