over 1,000 pupils and students are now suffering from overcrowding in various schools in the different parts of the region because of the lack of classrooms following the destruction of 259 school buildings following the onslaught of typhoon "Pepeng."

"It is a wonderful feeling we can assist the community and help build the school.

"We are very happy our people are working together on this school with the U.S. forces. Our people will greatly benefit from this project," said Jasmine B. Asum, the head high school instructor.
