ORMOC CITY– The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO) completes the construction of a one-story, five-classroom building at Lake Danao Integrated School, Ormoc City, with a contract amount of Php 12,313,123.20 funded under the General Appropriations Act (GAA) 2024.

Each of the five classrooms is equipped with a comfort room and four ceiling fans, ensuring a comfortable learning environment for the students. Additionally, group handwashing counter sinks with ten faucets per counter sink have been installed at the outermost sides of the building to promote proper hygiene among students.

Previously established as Lake Danao Elementary School, the institution was upgraded to Lake Danao Integrated School in 2022 to accommodate junior high students. With this expansion, the demand for additional classrooms has grown, making this newly completed project a significant contribution to the school’s development. The additional learning spaces will greatly benefit students, especially those who previously had to travel to neighboring barangays to continue their secondary education.

Furthermore, the building is expected to bring long-term positive impacts such as increased student enrollment, enhanced teaching efficiency and educational sustainability. With better infrastructure in place, students will have greater opportunities to excel academically and secure a brighter future. (PR)
