After a long Christmas break, the 3,726 students at the F. Serrano Elementary School in Parañaque City will have to hold their classes at a parish church. | |||
They have no classrooms to return to. Last December 10, a small plane crashed near the school igniting a fire that gutted the building. | |||
The crash and fire killed 14 people, including a pupil of the school. | |||
Temporary classrooms for Kinder to Grade VI have been set up at covered gym of the Mary Help of Christian National Shrine in Don Bosco, Better Living Subdivision. The school principal, Rosalia Morit, said the students may have to hold classes at the gym until August, when a new school is built. | |||
Morit said classes were divided into two shifts: from 6 a.m. to 12 noon and 12 noon to 6 p.m. | |||
Some classes are held at a covered area of the churchyard where village residents hold a “tiange” bazaar every Sunday. Others are located at the function room located at second floor of the church. | |||
Morit said Grade I and II pupils holding classes at the covered court only have blackboards as partitions. | |||
“The heat (in the gym) is the number one problem and we fear that some students might get sick because of the poor ventilation where we are holding our classes,” Morit said. | |||
She said the three industrial fans in the court are not enough. | |||
Morit said they have requested from the Office of the Mayor for additional industrial fans. | |||
The city government through Mayor Florencio Bernabe provided chairs and tables as well as school materials for the students, she said. | |||
The principal said the national government will be providing P128-million to rebuild the school. | |||
She also said four F. Serrano students were among the 11 people injured in the crash. | |||
One of the students, Rodelyn Molina, a Grade IV pupil, remained at the Makati Medical Center while the rest were recuperating at home. | |||
Morit identified the student who was killed as Kinder student James Bayan, 5. | |||
