Some borrow phones or wait for their turn at public computers. This donation from HONOR could not have come at a better time. With these tablets, students will now have access to digital tools that will enhance their education, their connectivity, and ultimately, their future.\u201d Reyes said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the beneficiaries was Josua Romero, a student from Philippine Normal University, who gave a moving speech that captured the emotional weight of the initiative:\u00a0\u201cI am truly beyond grateful, lalo na po ngayon na kailangan ko ng bagong device para sa aking pag-aaral,\u201d shared Romero. \u201cMy old laptop was already failing me.
