Business group sets turnover of 6 classrooms in Leyte, Samar towns

Posted on November 2, 2013

TACLOBAN CITY, (PNA) — Six classrooms will be turned over by the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) in cooperation with its local chamber, the Tacloban Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Inc. (TFCCCI), to various towns of Leyte and Samar provinces on Monday.

Three school buildings with two classrooms each will be turned over to San Roque Elementary School in Marabut, Samar; Rizal National High School, Dulag, Leyte and at Cong. Aguja Memorial School, Carigara, Leyte.

The group will also proceed to Ormoc City for the groundbreaking of a one-unit two-classroom school building donated by Megaworld in Manlilinao Elementary School at Barangay Manlilinao.

The turnover will be graced by officers of FFCCCII, who are slated to arrive in Nov. 4, according to Go Tic Ching, president of TFCCC.

“The donors will also be there. They want to personally turn over the school buildings and who knows they might add to what they currently donated. These schools are in remote areas especially the one in Dulag, Leyte which is in the coastal barangay and have no electricity,” Ching said.

The donation of the school buildings is a priority project of the FFCCCII for the last 60 years under the “Operation: School for the Barrio Program.”

They have donated nearly 11,000 classrooms in different schools all over the country.

The donation of classrooms by the FFCCCII is the biggest and longest running private-led school building construction of school buildings in the country, especially targeting the remotest villages in the country.

“We don’t compete with the government but we complement and we fill in the gap of the government program in providing school classrooms. Each classroom has a comfort room, to teach students proper hygiene,” Go Tic Ching said.

The FFCCCII is currently led by president Dr. Alfonso Siy.
