-THE DEPARTMENT of Budget and Management (DBM) has released P128 million for the immediate reconstruction of a school in Parañaque City gutted by an air crash this month.
+PARAÑAQUE CITY- The Parañaque Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) is on heightened alert status during the holiday season especially on New Year’s Eve.
-The budget will fund the construction of 80 classrooms in the F. Serrano Elementary School after the building burned down early this month when a five-seater Beechcraft Queen Air cargo plane crashed, Budget Secretary Florencio B. Abad said in a statement yesterday.
+Parañaque City Fire Marshal Supt. Manuel M. Manuel said that the local BFP continues its fire safety inspections of all business establishments as part of the implementation of R.A. 9514 or the Fire Code of the Philippines.
-The money will be granted to the Department of Education (DepEd), sourced from the 2011 Calamity Fund, since the Quick Response Fund of the department has been programmed for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of other projects, he explained.
+In line with this, the bureau is continuously promoting the national government’s ‘Iwas Paputok’ campaign.
-“A thorough evaluation by the DepEd found irreparable damage to the building, which then had to be completely demolished. Given that, we need to quickly allocate funding toward the reconstruction of the whole school. We are now fast-tracking the release of funds to begin the construction as soon as possible,” Mr. Abad said.
+The said campaign also encourages the public to use alternative ways to celebrate New Year in place of pyrotechnics and firecrackers.
-Once the reconstruction is completed, the school will have enough space to accommodate its 2,652 grade school students.
+Parañaque City Mayor Jun Bernabe is encouraging residents to continue to promote and support a safe community.
-“We will build enough rooms so the school administration can conduct a single-shift program for its students, instead of putting them on the usual double shift. Once the reconstruction is finished, classes will be back to normal and students can have a school environment more conducive to learning,” Mr. Abad said.
+“The Parañaque local government is one with the Bureau of Fire Protection and the Philippine National Police in keeping our locale a safe community,” said Bernabe.
+He also instructed the City Health Office to intensify the information drive on the use of pyrotechnics in merry-making in line with the Department of Health’s (DOH) “APIR Aksyon: Paputok Injury Reduction” campaign.
+The local chief also readied the Parañaque Emergency Response Unit (P.E.R.U.), as well as the Bernabe Memorial Hospital for expected pyrotechnic and other firecracker-related injuries.
