Read and Learn

Randy Halasan is a teacher in Pegalongan Elementary School. His school is in a far village in Davao City, found in the mountains, where the Matigsalug tribe lives.

Who is

Randy Halasan?

In 2014, Randy was given the Ramon Magsaysay Award for caring for his students and their community through teaching and helping out the whole village. The Ramon Magsaysay Award is given to persons or group of persons who show good examples in good government, courageous service to the people, and putting practical principles to work in the society. The award is a very important honor. It is known world-wide.

Randy was born in Davao City in 1982. He came from a poor family. However, he worked part-time so he could finish his college education. He graduated in 2003 and started to work on odd jobs. He became a substitute teacher in 2006.

In 2007, he started teaching fulltime at Pegalongan Elementary School. To reach his school, Randy travels seven hours – two hours by bus, one hour by motorcycle, four hours of walking, including crossing of two rivers .

At first, he wanted to teach in a school that is closer to the city where his family lives and longed for the chance to transfer. However, he cares so much for the children who walk for miles and cross rivers everyday just to get to school and learn, even sometimes while hungry and tired. He also cares for the community and the people who have limited means of livelihood to support the education of their children. He decided to stay and help.

He helped the community improve their livelihood by bringing people to work together and learn new ways to till their land. He appealed to the local government and other groups and brought them in to provide more help or aid.

He worked hard to expand the school – from a two-room school house with two teachers to a permanent school with nine rooms, eight teachers, and 210 students. In 2010, Randy became the head teacher of the school.

He believed that education is important to the Matigsalug’s survival in a changing world and has convinced parents to keep their children in school. He went beyond teaching his students and helped the village become more self-reliant. His efforts were recognized when he recieved several awards, including the Ramon Magsaysay Award.
