Project Rationale
For numeracy as clearly laid down in the
mathematics framework for Philippine Basic Education, its
curricula empower students across grade levels to “learn
to learn” and cause them to better understand and use
mathematics in everyday life.

Project Rationale
It is undeniably noteworthy that
comprehension in both literacy and numeracy
activities is critical to achieving positive learning
results. Therefore, teaching, learning, and
PISA-like assessment in Project R8 BULIG
must be grounded on the Bloom's Taxonomy's
multiple levels of thinking.

Project R8 BULIG
Building and Upgrading Learning Interventions and Gains
Good morning everyone! It is with profound joy that we will share with you the details of PROJECT R8 BULIG , BULIG means Building and Upgrading Learning Interventions and Gains.
This is a learning recovery initiative of Eastern Visayas Region, made possible through the guidance, wisdom, and inspiration of our big bosses- RD Evelyn R. Fetalvero and ARD Bebiano I. Sentillas who never stop thinking and taking bold steps if only to help our learners achieve the expected literacy and numeracy proficiency levels.
Literacy and numeracy are two core tools that are regarded to be extremely important in everyday life. Foundational skills in these areas are critical for a learner's overall growth. If the ultimate goal of education is lifelong learning, it goes without saying that educators, community, and other stakeholders must pay close attention to the development of these skills.
This project is anchored on the 3 Bs (Bawat Bata Bumabasa, Early Language Literacy Program, Mathematics Framework, SDG Goals, Bloom’s Taxonomy, GIYA Project, and Sulong Edukalidad.
Specifically, the Department of Education has stepped up its efforts to ensure that every learner becomes an effective reader. The 3 Bs aims not only to improve every learner’s ability but to establish a culture of reading knowing that all the learning areas require this specific skill-READING!
Another basis is the ELLN Program which aims to help Filipino children in the first key stage develop literacy and numeracy abilities and attitudes … selected sessions under the ELLNP shall be applied in the higher grade levels as additional inputs to the topics in the Pedagogical Retooling in Mathematics, Languages, and Sciences (PRIMALS) for Grades 4-6 and Junior High School and PRIMALS Plus for Senior High School.
For numeracy, learning materials and mathematical problems and activities must be related to everyday life so that learners shall have better understanding of mathematics concepts, thereby closing numeracy gaps.
Moreover, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development underscores that proportion of children and young people must have achieve at least a minimum proficiency level in reading and mathematics.
Another basic principle which this project is anchored on is the BLOOM’s Taxonomy.. So that in this project , teaching and learning, and PISA-like assessment shall be grounded on the Bloom's Taxonomy's multiple levels of thinking.
Project GIYA Teachers is also another backbone of this project R8 BULIG because of its alignment to teachers’ upskilling and reskilling.
Lastly, the Project R8 BULIG embraces the battle cry of the department of education as encapsulated in the Sulong Edukalidad, which emphasizes the importance of teachers'’ upskilling and reskilling and involving stakeholders for support and collaboration in the delivery of high-quality education.
But, why we really have to come up with such a learning recovery initiative on the first place?
Data from the ProMEDs as of Q1 of 2022 in Kindergarten in terms of Language, Literacy and Communication, shows that out of the 93,208 kindergarten learners, there are 21,617 or 23.19% that fall under “Beginning”; 47,102 or 50.53 “Developing”, and 24, 489 or 26.27 percent “Consistent”. Those who fall under the Beginning Category shall be considered part of this project.
In terms of the literacy status in Grade 1 Mother Tongue based on the Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (CRLA) Dashboard as of May 9, 2022, out of 87,713 total Grade 1 learners, there are 37,047 or 42. 77% on Full Refresher who shall be the learners to undergo the literacy interventions of this project.
To be shared in case, someone will ask about CRLA: Let me share with you first about CRLA, in this particular assessment, a child is given a 20 item test in Task 1. For one who scores 6 and below, he shall be given the Rhyme Score as Task 2 . His total score in Task 1 and Task 2 will determine his Reading Profile such that for one whose total score is 0-14, his reading profile is Full Refresher; 15 to 20 = Moderate Refresher. For one who scores in Task 1 with 7 and above, he will be given the Letter Test as Task 2 so that the total score of Task 1 and Task 2 combined will determine his Reading Profile as such, 7 to 16 = Light Refresher; 17 to 20 Grade Ready. Again, this slide gives us the Regional Literacy Status in Grade 1 Mother Tongue
In this slide, given is the literacy status in Grade 2 both for Mother Tongue and Filipino. For Grade 2 Mother Tongue, out of the 80,452 total learners, 29,855 or 37.11 % are considered Full Refresher; while in Grade 2 Filipino, out of the total 80,452, there are 29, 212 or 36.31% Full Refresher.
For Grade 3 in Mother Tongue , out of 93,988 total learners, there are 18,562 or 19.75 % Full Refresher; In Filipino, there are 17,763 or 18.9% Full Refresher, and in English – a total of 10,789 or 11.48% are categorized as Full Refresher.
(In case, someone will ask why there are fewer Grade 3 learners categorized as Full Refresher in English as compared to Mother Tongue and Filipino. Please, tell him: Maybe, this can be attributed to the fact that more of our learners have started with English at home and at pre-school; thus, many of them are at ease with English. But, we are to validate the data.
To continue, this slide shows the regional literacy status of Grades 3 to 6 learners in Filipino based on the Phil-IRI results. A total of 33,481 total learners in Grades 3 to 6 are under Frustration Reading Proficiency level.
Whereas in Grades 4 to 6 in English based also on the Phil-IRI results again, a total of 30, 502 are under Frustration Reading Proficiency level.
The region has no available data on literacy status for Junior and Senior JHS but it is committed to craft a reading assessment tool for SHS.
Just an info no need of mentioning: Consultative Workshop on the Development of Phil-IRI for JHS on May 25-27, 2022 in Olongapo City
For the numeracy status during the Q1 of 2022, there are 51,391 or 8.74% non-numerates in elementary, and 38,191 or 9.89 % non-numerates in the junior high school.
These are the learners who shall be considered to be part of the project. While we can say that we have these struggling learners because of the pandemic , we need to understand as well that even before the health crisis, the presence of the struggling learners both in literacy and numeracy, has been evident.
In fact, the study published in the KITE Journal, K to 12 Issues and Trends Explored, Research Journal Volume 1, Quarter 4, No. 4, 2021) on the K to 3 Teachers’ Competencies on Literacy and Numeracy conducted by the Human Resource Development Division (HRDD) prior to the onslaught of the pandemic recommends that learners having difficulty in reading be enrolled in a special reading program.
Hence, the need for a structured and focused intervention to help our learners.

We also consider the data on the Number of Learners within Grade Range “Not Meeting Expectation” and “At Risk of Failing” as our bases in the selection of the learners to be part of this intervention. These are for Mother Tongue and English.
Whereas given in the slide are the data for Filipino and Mathematics. Considering the four areas : Mother Tongue, Filipino, English, and Mathematics, we noted 2,851 learners who are at the grade range of “Not Meeting Expectation” and 613 learners are at risk of failing. These are the learners whom we shall cater in this initiative.
Undeniably, the literacy and numeracy data as well as academic performance of the learners from those grade levels, in general, clearly illustrate the learning deficiencies brought about by Covid-19 pandemic . But, we must remember these gaps have been there even before the pandemic.
End of School Year Classes per DO No. 25, s. 2022
It is in the aforementioned context that DepEd Eastern Visayas Region conceptualizes this project dubbed as Project BULIG, or Building and Upgrading Learning Interventions and Gains. It embodies well-defined and essential components where a renewed commitment to education among instructional leaders, school, and community stakeholders must flourish to recover learning losses in literacy (reading and writing) and numeracy.
It is articulated through an intervention plan matrix embedded in a toolkit that makes use of the reading and numeracy intervention/remediation programs offered by the region and those of the different Schools Divisions that have been developed for specific types of struggling learners.
Project R8 BULIG caters all types of learners to include those in the ALS, MEP, IPEd, and SPEd.
As general objective, Project BULIG aims to contribute to DepEd’s goal of developing holistic learners equipped with 21st Century Skills by improving the literacy and numeracy abilities of struggling learners across grade levels and learners in the Special Education (Sped), Indigenous Peoples’ Education (IPEd), Madrasah Education Program (MEP), and Alternative Learning System (ALS).
Specifically, this projects aims to showcase… pls read

Monitoring and Evaluation
Awards and Recognition
The issue on illiteracy and non-numeracy again has long existed in the department, but it has been exacerbated by the current health crisis, which makes face-to-face teaching and learning impossible at the onset of the said pandemic. The beneficiaries of this project are:
Kindergarten learners under “Beginning” Level;
Grades 1 to 3 learners whose reading profile fall under “Full Refresher” per CRLA results;
Grades 3 to 10 learners whose reading profile is considered as “Frustration” based on the Phil-IRI data;
Grades 1 to 10 moderately numerates and non-numerate learners; and
Grades 1-12 Learners ) who may not have mastered the
expected competencies.
Learners under the Inclusive Education ALS, MEP, IPEd, and SPEd
Another component of this project is Assessment . In here, we have :
Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA)
Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (CRLA)
Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI)
Regional Numeracy Test
Multifactored (MFAT)
Functional literacy test assessment (FLT,)
Assessment for Basic Literacy (ABL)
Teacher-made Formative Test
It is paramount to note that teachers, learning support aides, and volunteers must be trained on how to offer learning interventions. The following capability building activities will be carried out in this project:
Re-orientation on the selected topics from ELLN-DAP training;
Orientation on literacy activities in CLIL: Content and Language Integrated Learning;
Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) : In Focus; and
Workshop on Designing School Reading Projects.
This component on Curriculum and Delivery encompasses the approaches/strategies and activities that shall bring about the expected learning recovery outcomes among the identified struggling learners. Specifically, the following shall be undertaken:
Inventory of most and least learned literacy and numeracy competencies
Designing appropriate activities and materials as interventions to correct the learning gaps
A toolkit shall be provided with the suggested approaches and activities in literacy (reading and writing) and numeracy per key stage from Kindergarten to Senior High School, including Inclusive Education.
Moreover, the project aims to account all available reading materials being used by the division/schools. Development of reading materials, if necessary, there shall be needs analysis, assessment of reading, and inventory of existing reading materials.
It also aims to expand access of teachers and learners to quality assured reading materials such as the following:
For Literacy Grades 1 to 3, we have the
Primer Lessons (Hard Copy and *Electronic Version or ebook in Waray and our Ebook in Sinugbuanong Binisaya is soon to be finalized, we have the *KAALAM Apps for Sinugbuanong Binisaya, *KAARAM Apps for Waray, * KATAO for Inabaknon, MGLR Apps which are all uploaded to the 200 tablets from UNICEF to be distributed to selected learners in Samar and Northern Samar Division.
For Numeracy, aside from the Kaalam, Kaaram, and Katao Apss, we have the PHET Interactive Simulations.
While for SPED, the following shall be used:
Contextualized Lesson Plans
Braille Book, Audio recording, slate and stylus, digitized assessment tool, and other assistive device
Another component is ADVOCACY. The project's implementation hinges on raising awareness among all educators and community stakeholders. Here, advocacy activities and materials are required to catch the attention of the general public. The activities and materials will be as follows:
Learning Summit or Learning Congress
Posting on DepEd R8 Facebook Page
Live Streaming in DepEd Sumat Ha Otso
Announcement among Circles of Information Officers
Broadcast in Local TV and Radio Stations
Release of Memorandum
Bandillo/Public Address System
ALS Roadshow
And the materials are:
Flyers
Fans
Mugs
Tarpaulins
Another component of Project R8 BULIG is Partnership. As it has been noted, partnership is a good strategy to successfully accomplish most of the department's initiatives and projects.
The Brigada Pagbasa Initiative is an extension of the Brigada Eskwela campaign, which encourages community participation at the start of the school year. It brings together experts, change agents, policymakers, and other stakeholders from all sectors, both international and local, as well as the public and private sectors, to help Filipino children learn to read.
With Project BULIG, the following partnerships shall be concretized for stronger support and wider participation:
Local Government Units (LGUs)
The LGUs’ participation shall expanded as we aim to bridge a part of the DepEd Kindergarten curriculum to Day Care Centers and its technology on the Early Language Literacy and Numeracy (ELLN) Program, particularly the ELLN - Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) training to teachers for a seamless content and performance standards alignment as well as the transition of learners from Preschool to Kindergarten.
2. National Government Agencies
Moreover, other national government agencies such as DSWD , CHED, and the National Literacy
Council of DepEd, shall also be part of the forging of MOA.
3. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) (LUCs and SUCs)
Specifically, MOA shall also be forged with the Higher Education Institutions as this project shall
tap the services of college students under their College Students’ Civic Welfare Training Service
(CWTS) and others can also adopt a child- exploring tutor-tutee strategy.
4. Local and International Non-Government Organizations
It cannot be denied that the assistance and support of local and international non-
government organizations can fuel the success of this endeavor. Hence, their services on
literacy and numeracy shall be also explored. (UNICEF/FFH)
5. Learning Support Aides, Literacy and Numeracy Experts as Volunteers
Because educating a child is everyone's concern, a partnership with Learning Support Aides, Literacy and Numeracy Experts as Volunteers will be forged. In doing so, this will encourage them to take ownership of the project.
6. External Donors (community – alumni, private entity, etc.)
While our schools and districts shall practice book exchange in order to provide a greater
range of learning resources. This Project shall encourage stakeholders to donate books
to address the paucity of learning materials, and
7. Medical Team for LWDs medical assessment
Then, we have the Monitoring and Evaluation component: Periodic monitoring is necessary to adequately document successful practices and uncover issues and gaps in a timely manner.
To ensure effectiveness on the implementation of the project, the Regional and Schools Division offices are expected to:
conduct monthly/quarterly “Kumustahan” and close monitoring as well as provide technical assistance to ascertain significant learning gains among the identified struggling learners;
gather feedbacks from the implementers as basis for improvement and adjustment; and
The SDOs to submit the required consolidated reports to the deped.clmd@deped.gov.ph.
The last component of this project is Awards and Recognition. Yes, this project will be celebrating gains.
DepEd Regional Office shall recognize the Division offices, schools, teachers, LSAs, and community stakeholders with effective reading instruction and project implementation during the Regional Summit.

To reiterate, Project BULIG upholds a renewed commitment of education among education leaders, school and community stakeholders to recover learning losses and manage the impacts of Covid-19. Hence, the need for synergy of efforts of the all regional, division, school, and even external stakeholders. At the regional office, The CLMD shall lead …
The ESSD takes charge in seeking out and forming partnerships through forging Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with local government units, National Government Agencies such as Commission on Higher Education (CHED), HEIs (SUCs and LUCs), DSWD, other non-government organizations (local and international), as well as public and private persons.
The Admin Division
Assists in the selection of LSAs with expertise in literacy and numeracy who can make significant contributions to the recovery of learning losses.
Collaborate with the CLMD in the giving of Certificates of Recognition to LSAs
Whereas the QAD, Leads the development of monitoring tools in the implementation of the reading programs/interventions and of the entire project.
Then, the FTAD
Works closely with the CLMD and other FDs to validate the SDO submitted reports to further monitor and evaluate the implementation of project; and
Provides technical assistance to the SDOs in the project implementation.
For quality assurance system, it is believed that every venture's success is seen on the positive outcomes, as evidenced by the achievement of the project goals. Therefore, this project must ensure that the intervention processes are followed precisely, developmental activities are carried out, and appropriate resources are used. Furthermore, strong adherence to project implementation monitoring criteria, particularly on periodic assessment, is required, as this will determine the major improvements this project seeks to achieve.
In conclusion, setting benchmarks with an initial evaluation is critical for constantly monitoring the effectiveness of the project. So, every week, an informal formative assessment should be performed to track students' progress toward program goals and outcomes. Regularly reassessing each kid and examining the amount of progress made since the intervention/program began is crucial in determining whether or not the intervention is working. If there has been no gain, the intervention approach has failed, is ineffective, and other types of intervention should be explored.
For Project R8 BULIG, periodic monitoring is indispensable to adequately document successful practices and uncover issues and gaps in a timely manner. The former can be used as a model for other divisions and schools to follow, while the latter can be used to redirect/modify project strategies. With this Project R8 BULIG, we have high confidence that we will be able to help our learners recover their learning losses and enhance their literacy and numeracy skills.
Before I end this sharing, let me bring your attention to the bible verse:
To everyone gathered here today, Project R8 BULIG is our investment, our offering, our legacy, our love for our learners in Eastern Visayas Region! May God guide us in this endeavor and whatever success this project may bring, we give all the glory to Him. Thank you so much!!!
