As face-to-face classes return in the new normal, the Pasig City local government is ramping up its efforts to renovate the public school buildings in the city, as well as construct more school infrastructure to cater to more learners.
“In the coming months, the repairs, renovations and maintenance or improvements in school buildings will be a priority,” said Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto during the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, Feb. 13.
“‘Yung maganda tingnan ‘yung building pero sa totoo faulty ang electrical system, hindi na po mauulit. Let’s learn from our past mistakes ,” Sotto said. Last October 2022, the local government signed Deeds of Sale for two pieces of land – a 25,825 square meter lot in Nagpayong worth P142 million, and a 3,352 square meter lot in Pinagbuhatan Proper worth P60 million.
With the cooperation of all stakeholders involved, the local government hopes to have the new buildings ready for use by the school year 2024 to 2025.
