ILOILO City – A total of 240 senior high school students of Binicuil National High School in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental are now benefiting a new school building constructed by the Department of Public Works and Highways’ (DPWH) Negros Occidental 3rd District Engineering Office.

The building construction is in line with the K-12 program of the Department of Education (DepEd).

The P10.460-million project involves the construction of a 3-storey, 6-classroom school building.

The construction includes fixtures such as lighting, railings, blackboards, fire alarm, sewer line works, waterline works, and sanitary fixtures.

The building was formally inaugurated and turned over to the school by Negros Occidental 6th District representative Mercedez Alvarez, the Kabankalan City local government, and officials from DepEd, DPWH, the school, and the barangay.

During the turnover ceremony, DepEd representative Angela Malala said the realization of the project recognizes the importance of a good learning environment in achieving better learning outcome as its main purpose.

“I challenge the teachers of Binicuil National High School, as the stakeholders, to take good care and properly utilize the building as we seek to deliver quality education to our students,” Malala added.

Julius Ongalon, the school head, accepted the challenge, assuring that they will take care of the facility.

“The construction of this school building provides the school with an efficient and conducive place to learn and study. The design and modern features of this building, which is seldom seen in rural areas, will make the students and teachers proud of being recipient of this government project,” he said.
