Mayor Ricardo Velo Revita and Rosales balikbayans from United Kingdom, British Columbia, Hawaii and California attended the launching of Gearing Up Internet Literacy and Access for Students in Robert Estrella National High School on June 8, 2009.

GILAS is a multi-sectoral initiative that is composed mainly of corporations and concerned non-profit institutions that realize the need to invest in bridging the digital divide among the nation’s public high school students. It will allow the high school students in the public education to access the resources in cyberspace.

The Ayala Foundation Incorporated, the LGU of Rosales Pangasinan headed by Mayor Revita and Rosalenians of Hawaii headed by Mr. Amado Bermuda, facilitated the entry of Gilas Project in Rosales.
