Despite continuing miliary operations in the Samar Island, 22 members of local Party branches and section committee were able to complete the Basic Party Course (BPC) last June.

The front committee led preparations for the educational discussion. Considering heightened military operations in the area, organizers decided to conduct a staggered-type BPC. Two to three sessions were held weekly. There were two principal instructors and four teachers.

Sessions were held from 6 to 9 p.m. to ensure the availability and attendance of students. Ka Gary, one of the instructors and member of the front committee, said that the educational discussion was part of the consolidation activities in the section which aims to help students in leading their villages. The activity also helped resolve internal as well as interbarrio conflicts.
