NGCP gives back to host communities in Cebu, NegOr

CEBU, Philippines - New school buildings will soon rise in three public elementary schools in three Cebu towns this year.

The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) Visayas has started the construction of one school building each in three identified areas as a gesture of giving back to the communities hosting their transmission  lines in the province.

The identified schools are in the towns of Tabogon, Barili and Moalboal.

Tabogon and Moalboal will each have one school building with three classrooms while Barili's school building will have two classrooms.

NGCP poured in around P1-million for the construction of said school buildings.

This is the first school building construction project undertaken by NGCP Visayas in Cebu in line with their corporate social responsibility (CSR) program.

NGCP will also donate information technology tools to three schools in Negros Oriental.

Bulak Elementary School in Dauin town and San Jose Elementary School in Tanjay City will each receive ten tablets, one printer, and ten secure digital (SD) cards.

On the other hand, Mckinley Elementary School in Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental will receive three desktop computers, two printers, and two second-hand computers.

The donations are made after the schools requested NGCP to support their computerization program. (FREEMAN)
