TARANGNAN, Samar –
Samar First District Engineering Office (SFDEO) completes the
construction of a two storey - six classroom school building in Oeste
National High School.
Brgy. Oeste is an island
barangay of the municipality of Tarangnan, Samar which is only
accessible by a one hour motorboat ride from Calbayog City.
The project is implemented
by SFDEO and costs some Eight million pesos from the 2015 Basic
Educational Facilities Fund (BEFF). It is under contract with B.
Vicencio Construction.
Assistant District Engineer
Loreto Cedro, head of the District’s Inspectorate Team, leads the
recently held inspection of the project. School Principal Francisco
Peñaranda accompanies the team during the inspection.
Peñaranda said that this new
building will directly benefit around 530 students who are currently
enrolled in the school. He expects an influx of enrollees for the next
school year from adjacent barangays.
