BALER, Aurora (PIA) -- Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) completed a covered court at Diego Ortiz Elementary School in Baler, Aurora.

Located in barangay Pingit, the 600-square meter infrastructure can accommodate large groups for school gatherings and sporting events.

DPWH Aurora District Engineer Roderick Andal said the P6.37-million project was funded under the 2023 General Appropriations Act.

It includes electrical, sanitary, and plumbing works.

“This initiative is not just about constructing a covered court but about creating a conducive and convenient venue,” he emphasized.

The improved facility will significantly enhance the learning environment for both students and teachers, providing them with a more comfortable and flexible space to engage in various activities. (CLJD-PIA 3)
