TACLOBAN CITY– The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Leyte 2nd District Engineering Office (L2DEO), has constructed a new multi-purpose building (MPB) at Cantimawa Elementary School in Burauen, Leyte, to provide learners with a well-rounded learning environment and conducive space.
District Engineer Leo Edward Oppura said that a P4.93 million has been allotted for the construction of a 20-meter x 12-meter multi-purpose building facility was sourced from the DPWH CY 2024 MPB/Facilities to support the social services program.
The MPB project involves the construction of the MPB facility with provisions of an elevated stage, toilet and storage rooms.
“This MPB will function as a venue for teachers’ leisure and educational activities, as well as for the pupils’ full potential in learning and capability enhancement. It provides a comfortable and accommodating venue for academic events of the primary school,” Oppura said.
In an interview Ailyn A. Adrales, the school principal, she said that the new facility will be a big help to them as a venue for the events to be held inside their school.
“The multi-purpose building is ideal for various school activities conducted here in our school, as the previous one was too small to accommodate the growing population, especially when multiple activities are conducted simultaneously,” she said.
“This multi-purpose building in Cantimawa Elementary School will help to improve our service to the learners and stakeholders. The school’s teaching staff are thankful to DPWH for this MPB because this is a great help to the school,” she added.
The project construction began last March 14, 2024, and was finished on August 10, 2024.
