Binay, together with her husband Makati 2nd District Rep. Luis Campos and other officials from the city government, led the program held at the Makati Elementary School in Barangay Poblacion.

Makati's Mobile Learning Hub project was first launched during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic where it transformed 27 jeepneys to become "Dyipni Makati." These jeepneys are equipped with laptops, internet connection, books and other learning materials to be used by the city's youth who are having difficulties in their online learning classes due to lack of equipment and internet.

"Kami sa Makati, sinisiguro namin na ang mga umaakyat ng baytang ay mga pasado talaga. Lagi kaming may assessments, we make sure that our students are readers kasi ang problema natin ay yung basic eh, basic reading and basic writing. Basic reading and writing should be addressed as early as kinder until Grade 3 ," Binay said.

The mayor noted that since Makati is small, the city government cannot build libraries in each barangay, hence, their decision to create the mobile learning hub project to make it more mobile and accessible to the community.
