Malabrigo Elementary School

By Aliza Dueñas Carpio

The Malabrigo Elementary School is situated in the Ilaya region of the Malabrigo Lobo, Batangas town. Just a few steps from the beach, there are two buildings that separate grades 1-6. There is also a highschool that is not highlighted here. 


The town is really proud of their schools as many engineers, lawyers, teachers, doctors, politicians, nurses and many professionals graduated from both schools here. 


The land on which these schools are located were donated by the Sulit-Duenas family. Angel M. Duenas, the patriarch and lovingly called “Mamay”, wanted to make sure that the families of Malabrigo had a school for generations to come. You’ll find a memorial plaque in honor of the family.
