PHA community-based literacy campaign was launched by Edcom 2, in collaboration with Caritas Philippines and Linya-Linya, to provide access to quality books for young Filipino children in underserved areas. The initiative, called 'BOOKsan ang Kinabukasan: Kwento Mo ‘To!,' distributes Reading Boxes and Reading Nooks containing 30–75 books to daycare centers, churches, schools, and community spaces. The campaign highlights a significant learning crisis, citing reports that nearly half of Filipino learners are not reading at grade level by Grade 3 and many children lack access to books at home. Edcom 2 emphasizes that early childhood education participation is low, and the initiative aims to address these gaps through immediate, localized efforts rather than waiting for systemic reforms.
