President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo led the groundbreaking rites today for the construction of the proposed P220-million school building of the Manuel A. Roxas High School in Paco, Manila.

The President lowered the time capsule containing the school building’s master plan, lucky coins and a copy of a newspaper.

She was assisted by Manila Mayor Alfredo S. Lim, Manila 6th District Rep. Benny Abante and 5th District Rep. Amado Bagatsing, Education Secretary Jesli Lapus, and Manuel A. Roxas High School Principal Elena Batusan.

The proposed four-storey, 64-classroom school building is part of the 10,000 new classrooms targeted for construction under the President’s education program.

A joint undertaking of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Education (DepEd) and Local Government Unit (LGU) using parts of their funds, it will benefit the school’s 4,125 students

The first high school to be named after Philippine President Manuel A. Roxas, it was established in 1948. Today, it has 4,125 students and 185 teaching and non-teaching personnel.

The event was followed by the distribution of grocery packs containing rice, sardines and noodles to the residents of Barangays 821 and 826 residing within the vicinity of the school.

The President, after exchanging pleasantries with students and teachers of the school, had photo opportunities with them.

“Thank you very much for your warm reception. Salamat muli!,” she told them.
