Bongao, Tawi-Tawi (November 7, 2011) – The Provincial Government (PG) here has donated two school buildings with two classrooms each in early September this year and inaugurated both buildings recently.
Gov. Sadikul Sahali said the funds for the construction of the two buildings was drawn from the 20 percent development fund of the province and was undertaken by administration.
The two school buildings are located inside the school campus of the Mindanao State University-Laboratory Elementary School (MSU-LES) and Pangalian Primary School here, Sahali said.
The Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) of the MSU-LES was prompted to seek the assistance of the provincial government for a new classroom building after its oldest edifice was razed in a dawn fire few months ago.
The new school building at Sitio Pangalian in Barangay Luuk Pangdan replaced a dilapidated wooden-shack, which the local folks had requested.
However, Gov. Sahali said that school building alone could not fully address the objective of giving free education to the underprivileged pupils especially when teaching staff was insufficient in the sitio.
So he thought of completing the package for the Pangalian children and gave them volunteer teachers whose allowances come from his (Sahali) personal funds.
Meanwhile, in a simple inauguration and ribbon cutting ceremony last Friday at the MSU-LES compound, Provincial Administrator Kadirie J. Sahali represented the governor in the occasion and delivered the latter’s message.
The ceremony was also graced by Atty. Lorenzo R. Reyes, chancellor, MSU-TCTO, Bernardita Alegado, principal, LES, Maureen Amil, state auditor, and many other college officials.
