Communities in Rajah Buayan and Mamasapano cheered the turnover on Tuesday of school improvement projects jointly spearheaded by the Provincial Government of Maguindanao and the Philippine Army 6th Infantry Division.
The pupils, parents and teachers of Bakat Elementary School in Rajah Buayan felt happy they no longer have to live with dilapidated classrooms and school facilities that have remained in a sad state of disrepair due to the persistent armed conflict situation in the locality.
The improvements were funded by the Provincial Government, while elements of the 6th ID contributed a big part of the manpower and construction equipment required.
Aside from the improved campus, there were also gifts of school bags and school supplies, and footwear for the students, from the local government.
Over in Mamasapano, a multi-purpose covered public court was completed at a cost of P3 million.
Maguindanao Governor Esmael Mangudadatu and 6th ID Commanding General Edmundo Pangilinan lead the turnover rites, echoing each other's hope that the students and their parents will be inspired to press on with the quest for education for a better life.
