THE education committee, chaired by Councilor Jing Daba IV, is set to tackle the proposed opening of Grades 7 and 8 classes at Kamakawan Elementary School as an initial step toward its eventual conversion into an integrated school.
In a letter to City Mayor Rolando A. Uy, Punong Barangay Marlon Fidel D. Bongay Jr. said the council of Indahag filed a measure to recommend the request of the School Parents, Teachers’ Association as an expression of support.
Bongay believes that it would provide learners with greater access to quality secondary education, reduce their travel burden, and contribute to the long-term goal of converting Kamakawan Elementary School into an integrated school.
Kamakawan Elementary School serves as the primary feeder school of Indahag National High School.
The continuous increase in enrollment at the latter has resulted in classroom congestion, inadequate instructional facilities, and a growing demand for teaching personnel.
The proposed opening of Grades 7 and 8 classes at Kamakawan Elementary School is expected to help decongest Indahag National High School while improving access to junior high school education for learners from Sitio Kamakawan and nearby areas.
It is likewise expected to reduce transportation costs and travel time for students and enhance the delivery of quality basic education services within Barangay Indahag. (JAO/SP)
GIDEKLARA sa konseho atol sa ilang regular session nga gidumala ni Presiding Officer Pro Tempore Councilor Roger G. Abaday nga "operative" o epektibo ang ordinansa sa Barangay 29 nga nagtumbok isip opisyal nga pick-up point ug evacuation area sa barangay ang dalang Domingo Velez panahon sa mga kalamidad.
Sa maong ordinansa usab, gitugotan ang temporaryo nga pagsirado sa maong dalan panahon sa mga earthquake drill.
Sumala sa maong barangay, sila ang usa sa labing daling maigo sa mga kalamidad, hinungdan nga dako gayod ang ilang panginahanglan niini tungod kay sa kasamtangan wala silay permanenteng evacuation center.
Nasayran nga ang maong ordinansa nasusi na usab sa City Legal Office diin ilang girekomendar nga usbon o i-revise ang pipila ka bahin niini aron makasubay sa technical findings ug rekomendasyon sa City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department ug Roads and Traffic Administration.
Ang maong resolusyon gipaluyohan sa komite sa barangay affairs ni Konsehal Marlo Tabac ug komite sa pamalaod ug reglamento ubos ni Konsehal Edgar Cabanlas. (JRG/SP)
THE 21st City Council, headed by Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez, enacted an ordinance converting a portion of an old cadastral road into patrimonial property for the proposed construction of a new multi-purpose facility for Barangay No. 6.
The legislative measure, passed during the 52nd regular session presided over by Presiding Officer Pro Tempore Councilor Roger G. Abaday, aims to maximize underutilized city-owned property to better serve the community.
With an area of 226 square meters, the proposed facility is situated along R.N. Abejuela-Burgos Street in the said barangay.
The proposed multi-purpose building would accommodate various essential services, including a community health station, designated space for local government operations, and an area for public assemblies and disaster response activities.
The ordinance was reviewed and endorsed by the committees on subdivision, housing development, and landed estate, and on laws and rules both chaired by Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas. (JBD/SP)
