GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Oct 12 (PIA)-- The day was festive and school children were flashing sweet smiles as they run around the newly-completed school building inside Cotabato City Central Pilot School (CCCPS). | |||
From a dilapidated and overcrowded one, the pre-school kids will now be occupying their fully furnished and well ventilated classroom. | |||
Assorted educational materials, colorful books, workbooks and learning tools have been arranged in such a way that the children will be in for a great play. This is one of the 45 Silid Pangarap schoolhouse built by the Aboitiz Group through the Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. (AFI). | |||
AFI has teamed up with the AGAPP (Aklat, Gabay, Aruga tungo sa Pag-angat at Pag-asa) Foundation to help pre-school children by providing 1 storey- 2 classroom building nationwide. | |||
Aboitiz Foundation Inc. pledged to build 45 Silid Pangarap buildings in two years in support to AGAPP Foundation's education initiatives. For 2011, 26 buildings will be turned-over, one of which was done recently in Cotabato City. | |||
Cotabato Light and Power, an Aboitiz company, facilitated the construction and selected Cotabato City Central Pilot School (CCCPS) as the recipient school basing from their volume of students and number of enrollees. | |||
"We would not forget, and forever, we would value every drop of the portion you have expended for our childrens behalf. We can guarantee you that we will take this as a precious gift because it is the product of your untainted intentions,” Wahabi Guiani, CCCPS Principal said. | |||
Danny Cerence, manager and project development officer of AFI who came all the way from Cebu Head Office to grace the event read Pinky Aquino – Abellada’s message, AGAPP chairperson: “Ang Silid Pangarap ay nakatayo na ngayon na may mga silya’t mesa, school supplies at aklat para sa kinder hangga’t Grade 3. May teacher training pa po itong kasama! Salamat sa Aboitiz Foundation, Cotabato Light, LGU, DepEd at school faculties, sa tulung-tulong nating mahanapan ng solusyon ang problema sa edukasyon.” | |||
About Php1.1-M has been set aside by Aboitiz Foundation Inc. for this project for AGAPP-CCCPS constructed by Compact II Gencon, Inc. | |||
The sturdy and attractive building was based on the same design of AGAPP schoolhouse nationwide. With complete books, supplies and teacher's training, this project is definitely on its way in making sure that all Grade 1-entrants have the necessary preparations to make them ready for academic challenges and consequently succeed in formal school. | |||
“We, at the Aboitiz Group are very happy with this donation. We are glad to be of service to our community. Certainly with the increasing number of pupils this project will be of great use for the welfare and education of the students especially with our pre-schoolers. Kami sa Cotabato Light at AFI ay inyong ka-AGAPP-ay,” Donjie Vertuoso spoke on behalf of Cotabato Light’s Resident Manager Crisente Ferolino. | |||
Present during the turnover were city councilors Hadji Abdullah Andang and Graham Nasser Dumama; DepEd 12 Superintendent Dr. Melinda Maruhom; Admin Officer V- Johnny Balawag; CLPC CSR Team headed by Anna Lea Lee Nataño, Project Engineer Anthony Bueno and other officers who made the nationwide project possible.
