TACLOBAN CITY— A new venue for sports and events awaits students and faculty of San Jose Central School, as the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Tacloban City District Engineering Office has officially completed the construction of the school’s multi-purpose covered court on November 16, 2024.

The project, implemented by the DPWH Tacloban City District Engineering Office, was funded under the 2024 General Appropriations Act with a total contract amount of P7.9-million.

Located in Barangay 87, San Jose, Tacloban City, the 448-square-meter covered court is designed to host various sports events and school-related activities. Featuring a spacious area, a stage, and two basketball hoops, the facility is expected to significantly boost student participation in sports and recreational programs.

Built to serve as a multi-purpose facility, the covered court provides a comfortable and weather-protected space, enabling the school to host a wide range of events and programs effectively.

“This multi-purpose building will enhance the school’s capacity to hold diverse activities, both academic and extracurricular, in a safe and comfortable environment. Students will also benefit from having a proper facility for sports, which is vital for their physical development,” said District Engineer Rebecca G. Yuse.
