From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 22): US, PH air forces turn over two classrooms in Lapu-Lapu City

Air Force units from the United States of America and the Philippines have turned over two classroom buildings in Buyong Elementary School in Barangay Marigondon, Lapu-Lapu City.

This elementary school was one of the schools in Lapu-Lapu City that has experienced classroom shortage after it was hit by typhoon Yolanda last year.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the school building was held early last month.

Among those who attended the dedication rites Friday were Colonel John C. Womack of the USAF, Brigadier General Raymundo Elefante, Wing Commander of 560th Air Base Wing of PAF; Maribago Barangay Captain Joseph Pangatungan; and Teodolo Ybañez, Lapu-Lapu City Administrator.

The undertaking was also witnessed by school officials of Buyong Elementary School.

Ybañez said the city lacks hundreds of classrooms, but the city is trying its best to compensate the scarcity of school needs by having more teachers.

Ybañez thanked the US and Philippine Air Force units for building the classrooms.
