History

Father Pabillo saw the hardships of students enrolled at Macarascas National High School who came from far-flung barrios striving to achieve at least a basic education. Mostly coming from very poor families, students wound up staying in poorly supervised boarding houses, and suffered from high drop-out rates and teen pregnancies. Meeting with the Parish Pastoral Council, parents and civic-minded individuals, requested a student dormitory. Female students were the first to be served.

Pabillo met with Father Alarcon of the Angelicum College in Quezon City and finalized a concept of an alternative learning system. It was coined REAP, or Re-Entry Education Alternative for the Poor, targeting students facing obstacles that made it difficult to impossible to finish school in a traditional way.

Today, the dormitory receives support from various non-government organizations in the country and abroad who attest to the effectiveness of the program as it changes lives of youth in the Palawan province.
