Educ cmte to discuss Indahag EECD request for temporary classroom

The City Council committee on education, chaired by Councilor Moreno Y. Daba IV, is set to deliberate on a resolution requesting City Mayor Rolando A. Uy to allow the use of the city evacuation center as temporary classroom for Poblacion Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Center in Barangay Indahag.

As stated in the resolution, the Poblacion ECCD Center presently occupies the old Barangay Hall building, which, due to its age and structural deterioration, poses risks to the safety and welfare of pupils, teachers, and staff.

The facility has shown significant weakening and visible damage, raising concerns over its continued use for classes.

Currently, classes are temporarily held at the Poblacion Covered Court, but these are frequently disrupted due to its use for other barangay activities.

In 2023, Barangay Indahag was among the beneficiaries under the City Mayor’s priority projects for the construction of a new ECCD Center in Poblacion. However, construction has not yet commenced. (JAO/SP)
