New school buildings serve 500 learners and teachers in Abra town

SAN JUAN, Abra (PIA) -- About 500 school children and teachers in San Juan enjoy new buildings from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the municipal government.


The more than P5.2 million-worth projects funded through the Local Government Support Fund-Growth Equity Fund (LGFS-GEF) of the DILG were implemented in Daoidao, Cabcaburao, and Supiil elementary schools.


The LGFS-GEF gives additional funding support to disadvantaged municipalities for the implementation of their priority projects and services.

San Juan Mayor Meynardo Bautista Jr. emphasized the importance of providing conducive learning environment to foster better learning among our children.


“Nu haan nga nasayaat ti pangadal da, later on awan met ti masapulan da nga nasayaat nga trabaho, haan da nga agbalin nga productive. In the long run, maapektaran ti edukasyon ken ekonomiya,” he added.


The one-unit classroom buildings which were completed in December last year are now being used to cater to classes of different grade levels.


Public Schools District Supervisor Analyn Atmosfera shared that the beneficiary schools of Supiil and Daoidao had damaged classrooms due to the earthquake that hit Abra in July 2022.   Cabcaburao Elementary School do not have a classroom for their kindergarten learners.

San Juan vice-mayor Ari Lucas Bautista, who led the municipal councilors during the inauguration of the projects, encouraged the youth of the beneficiary schools to do good in their studies.


“Aadingko,  sikayo ti namnamain mi metlaeng. Iti hopes and aspirations iti ili tayo a San Juan nakaasa kanyayo. Dakel unay daytoy nga responsibilidad tapno kasta maiyangat tayo ti sasaaden tayo ti future tayo,” he emphasized.


The  inauguration of the education facilities was also witnessed by representatives from the DILG, barangay captains, teachers, parents, and the community.(JDP/JJPM-PIA Abra)
