Classrooms, facilities sought for new families

ILOILO CITY: The influx of some 1,000 new families at the city-owned relocation site in Barangay Lanit, Jaro District, has touched off a need for additional classrooms and other amenities such as multipurpose hall, barangay gymnasium, barangay health center and a daycare center.

Village chairman Simplicio Subaldo said he welcomes the families to their new homes across the radial road but he said there is an urgent need for additional classrooms at the Lanit Elementary School that also serves as an integrated school for elementary and high-school children in the area.
