CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Five newly completed classroom buildings were turned over by the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) to four public schools in Pampanga on June 26, as part of its continuing support for education.
Leading the turnover ceremonies were Roberto Kho Tian Ang, chairman of the FFCCCII Welfare Committee, and Kimson Cua, vice chairman. They were joined by officers of the San Fernando Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc., headed by president Mike Go, executive vice president Gonzalo Kehyeng, vice president Mark Chua, and directors Leo Co, Rey Tantamco and Danny Go.
The first turnover was held at Gatiawin Elementary School in the municipality of Arayat with the newly completed two-classroom building donated by the family of the late Bonifacio Lim.
Present during the ceremony were school principal Violeta Cordova and Arayat municipal councilor Edith Kabigting.
The delegation also visited Concepcion Integrated School in San Simon, where two separate two-classroom school buildings donated by businessman Robert Sy of Global Aseana were formally turned over. The ceremony was attended by school principal Jessie Silvestre.
Another two-classroom building, personally donated by Billy Ang, was turned over to San Isidro Elementary School in San Simon. School principal Porcia Santiago received the new facility on behalf of the school community.
The final turnover was held at Sta. Monica Elementary School, also in San Simon, where a two-classroom building donated by Eric Ngan (Gan) was officially handed over. The ceremony was attended by school principal Emmanuel Cariño.
The classroom buildings took nearly a year to complete and are expected to help address classroom shortages while providing students and teachers with safer and more conducive learning spaces.
With the completion of these projects, the total number of school buildings turned over by the FFCCCII nationwide has reached 6,452, reflecting the federation’s long-standing commitment to supporting public education and helping provide better learning facilities for Filipino students across the country.
