Bicol school buildings construction under way as part of PGMA’s commitment in her SONA
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2008

CABUSAO, Camarines Sur - President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo inaugurated here today two newly-built government school buildings and broke the ground for the construction of another school house.

The two school buildings the President inaugurated are intended for the grade school pupils of the Castillo Elementary School here.

The first of the two-classroom school houses was built by the Department of Education (DepEd) and was funded by the Bicol Calamity Assistance and Rehabilitation Efforts (CARE) Fund with P878,000.

The second, a one-storey, two-classroom school building adjacent to the two-classroom UNICEF school building, was funded under Phase 1 of the UNICEF Netherlands School Building program. It was built at cost of P1.193 million.

The two school buildings will replace the school houses destroyed by typhoons and floods and will sustain the achievement level of pupils and the performance indicators in terms of enrollment, promotion, retention and graduation rates.

The President then broke the ground and lowered a capsule containing coins and school building plan for the construction of another two-storey, four-classroom school building also located inside the premises of the school.

The proposed building will replace the still existing dilapidated school house that has been already condemned and up for demolition.

With a P4 million budget, the proposed two-storey school building is funded by the Department of Education and will start its construction in March 2008. It is a joint project of Camarines Sur Rep. Dato Arroyo, Camarines Sur Gov. Luis Raymund Villafuerte Jr. and Cabusao Mayor Norberto Genova.

Over a merienda at the school compound, the President exchanged pleasantries and had photo opportunities with the school teachers led by school principal Evelyn Salcedo.

Teachers of the Castillo Elementary School thanked the President for their brand new school building and requested her to provide them with computer and television sets.

"Madam President, we are very happy for this Valentine's gift. Sana po matugunan ninyo ang aming kahilingan," the teachers told the President.
