ANGELES CITY -- The Yokohama Tire Philippines Incorporated (YTPI) has adopted a public high school implementing various programs for its students.

The YTPI renovated two comfort rooms at the Rafael L. Lazatin Memorial High School increasing six cubicles to 10, which are ready to be used by male and female students for school year 2016-2017.

RLLMHS, one of the public secondary high schools in Angeles, has an annual 3, 144 students from Grade 7 to 10. But the school only have two functional comfort rooms with three cubicles each for male and female students.

With the rehabilitation project, the number of cubicles in a comfort room were developed into five.

The tire firm spent P320,000 for the project, it was learned.

In the turn-over ceremony took place last March 21, YTPI president Yasuhiro Kurokawa said that the newly-constructed CRs will be a big help in the total wellness of the students while they are at school.

“Keep the toilet clean,” he said.

Alec Alacao, president of the Student Supreme Government, in response said “we will assure you that we will do our best to maintain the cleanliness of the restrooms that you have renovated,” he said.

“In behalf of the faculty and student, Alacao expressed gratitude to YTPI. “Thank you for extending your kindness and for choosing our school to be one of your beneficiaries. We hope and pray that God will continually bless your company so that you can be able to help others just like what you did for our school. Once again we thank you and more power to your company.”

The comfort room rehabilitation is the fourth project of YTPI in line with its toilet donation program.
