City Hall employees' P10 build classrooms

GENERAL SANTOS CITY (10 October 2014) – City Mayor Ronnel Rivera has called on City Hall employees to donate classrooms to public schools by giving P10 a month each.

Through the program “Sampung Piso Ko, Klasrum Mo”, LGU-GSC employees give P10 per month to General Santos City Government Employees Association (GSCGEA) for the construction of make-shift classrooms.

Because of this, a new classroom in Calumpang High School has been successfully built and was formally opened on October 3 in the presence of Mayor Rivera and City Hall department heads.

Fervi Tripoli, a teacher of the school, said she was delighted that they have new classrooms.

“Calumpang High School just started this June and we only have two make-shift classrooms that cater to 130 Grade 7 and Grade 8 students. With the addition of this new classroom from the local government, I’m sure we can add more students,” she said.

The make-shift classroom’s total cost is P110,000.

From the month of February to July, the GSCGEA was able to come up with only P78,000, but they still pursued the construction since the mayor donated P40,000 just to complete it. (Gensan CPIO/Ian John M. Lagare)
