PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Oct. 14 (PNA) -- The provincial government has turned over a P1.8 million three-classroom school building project to the Department of Education (DepEd) in the nearby town of Tigbao, this province.

Provincial Information Officer Marivic Jongco said Tuesday the beneficiary of the school building project is the National High School in Barangay Libayoy, Tigbao, a fifth class municipality of this province.

Jongco said the implementation of the project is aimed at providing a conducive learning center and environment to students, who endure long walk to attend classes, in Barangay Libayoy.

She said Governor Antonio Cerilles spearheaded the inauguration and turned over the newly-completed project last week.

Libayoy National High School head teacher Jessie Cayasan accepted the project on behalf of DepEd.

The inauguration and turnover of the project was witnessed by Libayoy Barangay Chairman Eduardo Camaongay and other officials.

Cerilles said the implementation of the project was realized through the collaborative efforts of the provincial government, Tigbao town headed by Mayor Danilo Dalid, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Local School Board to ensure the delivery of quality education by allocating part of the Special Education Fund (SEF) to construct the school building.

The SEF is the one percent share from the collection of the real property tax of the local government unit.

Jongco said the implementation of the project affirms the goal of the Cerilles administration of providing crucial infrastructure support to the DepEd. (PNA)
