BACOOR CITY, Cavite – Two new 4-storey classroom buildings were inaugurated on Tuesday in Molino IV village here to address classroom congestions in elementary and high schools in the densely-populated school campuses.
Bacoor City Mayor Lani Mercado Revilla led the inauguration and blessing of the 4-story, 8-classroom building at Likha Elementary School and of another 4-storey, 12-classroom building of Georgetown National High School, both located in Molino IV village.
The city public information office said the additional school buildings form part of the city’s commitment to provide a conducive learning environment for its school children and “help reduce the per classroom student ratio to only 40 schoolchildren per classroom.”
While at Likha Elementary School, Mercado also took distributed school bags to schoolchildren and promote the “Bakood” Festival activities, which the city annually holds in honor of its patron saint, St. Michael the Archangel, as well as the city’s 347th founding year.
According to Molino IV village chief Jeffrey Campaña the new school buildings boast of multi-benefits.
“Una, ang pakinabang ay para sa mga magulang at batang mag-aaral, pangalawa hindi na kailangan lumayo para makapag-aral o makapagtapos, Campaña shared (first, it benefits the parents and students, second one needs not go far to study and finish a degree).
The new school buildings will also ensure a conducive environment for the schoolchildren, “dahil maaliwalas, bago.” (it’s spacious, new).
With the new additional classrooms, more students will also be accommodated.
City councilor Joselito Pagulayan and members of the village councils attended the twin events. (PNA)
