Read the excerpt of a feature article below and answer the given questions.
All it took him was one Facebook status message to change the lives of dozens of children in a
far-flung village in Zamboanga. When Jay Jaboneta learned that 200 children in Layag-layag Village had to
swim to get to school every day (painstakingly making sure that their books, if there was any, wouldn't get
wet), he knew he had to do something. Through a Facebook status message, Jaboneta was able to raise
funds—as much as P70,000—on the first week of his call for donations. A Facebook group "Zamboanga
Funds for Little Kids" was later established, expanding his advocacy's reach. Now, the kids of Layag-layag
go to school in their bright new yellow boats, each aptly dubbed as "New Hope."
