Angeles City Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. has led the inauguration of Belen Homesite Elementary School, the first fully solar-powered public elementary school in Central Luzon and a showcase for the entire Philippines.
The city government earmarked P3 million for the project, the City Information Office (CIO) said.
“This school is a showcase of Angeles City’s commitment to education and sustainability for the entire Philippines,” said Lazatin during the unveiling of the project on Thursday, March 6.
“It proves that local governments can prioritize public schools, ensuring that they are modern, energy-efficient, and conducive to learning. With a total of 32 kVA solar panels, Belen Homesite Elementary School stands as a model for other cities to follow, demonstrating that renewable energy can power our classrooms,” he said.
The fully solar-powered school features seven new air-conditioned classrooms and can accommodate approximately 189 students.
Lazatin also urged the teachers and parents to help maintain the school’s facilities, ensuring that students continue to benefit from a clean, safe, and energy-efficient learning environment.
