Balikatan 2022 benefits schools in Cagayan and Isabela

CAMP AGUINALDO QUEZON CITY- Four learning facilities at different schools in Cagayan and Isabela are being built by combined troops of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the United States Indo-Pacific Command under the Engineering Civic Action Projects (ENCAP) of the Balikatan 37-2022.

The construction of the buildings kicked off with a simultaneous groundbreaking ceremony on March 7, 2022. Troops aim to finish building the facilities towards the end of the Balikatan Exercises.

As of this writing, the construction of a 7m x 18 classroom in Taggat Sur Elementary School in Claveria, Cagayan is at around 64% completion. This will replace a condemned building with a multi-purpose structure for a safer student environment.

An all-purpose building with two classrooms is being put up in Pinas Elementary School, Claveria, Cagayan to support other learning facilities in the school.

Troops are also working together to build a School House in Masi Elementary School, Rizal, Cagayan to address the need for more classrooms to accommodate the number of students.

 
Meanwhile, to increase the capacity of San Francisco Elementary School in Alicia Isabela, troops are building a 7m x 9m classroom which is already at 87% completion rate.

The United States government has donated a total of $100,000 to fund each building. Both military forces aim to foster confidence in mutual defense relationship while contributing to the welfare and social development of the local communities in the implementation of ENCAP.

Aside from the construction of said facilities, PH-US forces have also conducted various stakeholder engagement and community relations in the area.  (Photos by NOLCOM)
