TAGBILARAN CITY, June 21 (PIA)–In ten months, army engineers completed a P3.6 million disaster resilient school building that can double as evacuation center for Campao Oriental in Getafe town.
Barangay chairman Pedrito Sobiono Jr., said the 3 class room building, which was part of ABS CBN Sagip Kapamilya Foundation’s help in earthquake rehabilitation, came as much needed help for the school which still have classrooms needing immediate rehabilitation, a week after the formal class opening.
The new building, which costs more that the P1.2 million allocated for every classroom stand in contrast to a single classroom beside it, with two of its walls totally toppled by the quake.
The agreement was for ABS-CBN Foundation to fund new fully furbished three classroom building, for Mariwasa to put up the tiles in the accompanying toilet per room, the army engineers to implement the project and for the community to render volunteer jobs as labor counterpart according the Bohol’s Bayanihan Project, Sobiono Jr., explained.
“It is generally more than P3.6 million,” Parents Teachers Association (PTA) President Albert Melecio added, pointing out that the “building could withstand 170 kilometer winds and is earthquake proof.”
“Over 400 parents took turns in volunteering a day every week and we figured it was just fair as we spent nothing to get the building,” Campao Oriental High School principal Bobet Cortez added.
ABS-CBN Foundation representative and television anchor Bernadette Sembrano picked on the incredible partnership in Bohol which had the army, Department of Education, Provincial Government, Municipal, barangay governments, groups like the PTA and her company had struck, even as she said partnerships always pose a huge challenge.
In his message of acceptance, principal Cortez abundantly thanked the donors: ABS CBN and Mariwasa, the army and the government for the brand new facility.
He also pointed out that aside from ABS-CBN and the army engineers, the heroes of the school are the parents and the students who selflessly struggled it out to complete the project.
“We, beneficiaries [of the project] need to take care of this [building] and make it conducive to learning,” Cortez urged.
Meanwhile, 302nd Infantry Brigade Commander Col. Arnulfo Matanguihan urged the students to take care of the building.
“Everything we put up should let you imagine the hardships our parents put, for their struggles, we have a building with 3 classrooms for this high school,” he said. (rac/PIA-7/Bohol)

TAGBILARAN CITY, June 21, (PIA)–The Department of Education (DepED) in Bohol is still consolidating reports to trace around 5,000 Grade 10 student completers who have not shown up for senior high in the public schools, a week after the opening of classes June 13.
DepED information Officer Lope Hubac, however believed these students could be already enrolled in the private schools or have moved to the city, in what is apparently a thinking that they need a new environment after completing junior years in the public schools.
Speaking at the Kapihan sa PIA Thursday, Hubac said the DepEd, who has kept a record of junior high school student completers said about 19,152 students completed Grade 10 and eligible to take the senior high school.
But, after the beginning days of the opening of classes, only 14,134 completers have registered and are enrolled for the senior high schools.
The DepEd implements this school year 2016-2017, the first year for senior high school, to be Grade 11 and continues with the Grade 12 by next year, when the first batch of senior high school students graduate.
In a talk with district supervisors, Hubac said a mandate to track these students has been given and the Division office could get hold of the reports within the succeeding weeks.
For these students, he said the most probable thing is that they have transferred to Tagbilaran City, which has “more equipped schools” to implement senior high schools, or have transferred to the private high schools.
Hubac, who was among the Division Field Assistance Teams, sent out to monitor the opening of classes and the enrollment for senior high, noted this even as DepED projects a steady increase in enrolment, even for this school year.
The Bohol Division of the DepED keeps a separate record from the City public Schools, that part of the missing senior high school entrants could already be in the system of the city schools, he reasoned out.
Moreover, DepEd also admits it could be difficult to obtain data for students entering senior high schools through the country’s state universities and colleges, he added.
State Universities and Colleges technically do not fall under the DepED, but the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Hubac claimed.
Even then, he also assured that the DepEd is not stopping until every one of the completers is tracked and are found in schools.
DepEd Secretary Armin Luistro, who happens to be a missionary, accordingly instructed the education sector workers to seek out the missing sheep, where ever they may be.
In Bohol, of the high schools offering 164 junior high, only 129 are offering follow on courses for the senior high school, Bohol Division said.
He also assured that the DepEd would always seek ways to get them [students] back on track as the certificates of completion is not yet a high school diploma and could not be used for employment.
The senior high school is that part of high school training which would allow students to gain skills to be gainfully employable. (rac/PIA-7/Bohol)
