Mayor Celso Lobregat together with barangay and education officials inaugurated yesterday morning another two-storey eight-classroom building worth P8.7 million this time at San Roque Elementary School, this city.

This brings to five school building projects inaugurated since last month alone, namely: two-storey six-classroom building at Manicahan Poblacion Elementary School, two-storey eight-classroom building at Maasin Elementary School, another two-storey eight-classroom building at Talisayan Elementary School and two-storey six-classroom building at Culianan Elementary School.

In Barangay San Roque alone, the city government under Lobregat’s administration has invested millions of pesos for various infrastructure projects. These include a covered court and a multi-purpose building worth P1.3 million at the Regional Science High School; drainage system- P930,000; another drainage system worth P2.2 million; farm-to-market road amounting P497,000; road improvement for P400,000; road concreting at the back of slaughterhouse- P398,000; concreting of San Roque-Capisan road- P1.7 million; slope protection worth P499,000; another slope protection amounting to P574,000, and riverbank slope protection at Little Tondo- P490,000, among many others.

Lobregat said many, many more projects have been completed, undergoing construction and scheduled for inauguration in practically all the city’s 98 barangays. “Even if we inaugurate one project every day, palta el dia na un año para inagura kita todo el proyecto,” the mayor said as if to belie allegations by his political critics that his administration has done nothing good for the city.

Attending the inauguration of the new school building that boast of a modern design were City School Division Superintendent Dolores Alcantara, Assistant Superintendent Norma Vecina, District Supervisor Rodolfo Nicolas, school principal Eduardo Ibañez, City Engineer Luis Despalo, barangay chairperson Allen Feliciano, Executive Assistant on Barangay Affairs Mario Roca, Executive Assistant Percival Ramos, Pasonanca Elementary School Principal Basilio Uy and and Upper Pasonanca Elementary School Principal Joselito Francisco.
