Japan constructs classrooms in Masbate

 
 

Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines Toshinao Urabe signed two grant contracts with Milagros Mayor Natividad Isabel Magbalon.

In Milagros in Masbate, John Miller Elementary School in Barangay Bangad and Magsalangi Elementary School in the coastal barangay of Magsalangi have urgent need for the construction and renovation of classrooms.

"John Miller Elementary School is using makeshift and dilapidated classrooms to accommodate its growing number of students. On the other hand, Magsalangi Elementary School, established in 1937 and considered to be the oldest school in the Municipality, has classrooms that are already condemnable and thus pose threat to its students," the embassy said.

It said a grant assistance of $113,190 (P4.8 million) will help build four classrooms in John Miller Elementary School, and three in Magsalangi Elementary School.

The classrooms will also be provided with armchairs, blackboards, teacher's tables and chairs.

The Milagros municipal government will also repair two classrooms and five classrooms, respectively.
