Tanauan,
Leyte -- In his continuous crusade for
relevant and quality education for the young people
of the province, Leyte Governor Carlos Jericho
Petilla visited the municipality of Tanauan on
March 7, 2008 to inaugurate Secondary Education
Development and Improvement Project (SEDIP) Buildings
and to turn over five computer sets.
Governor Petilla has always been consistent in
his desire to provide not only quality but relevant
education to the young people of Leyte. He believes
that the best legacy to the future generation
is being able to prepare the youth to become good
future leaders.
First, the Governor together with Tanauan mayor
Roque Tiu and the municipal officials, Board Member
Malou Go-soco and DepEd Leyte Division Asst. Superintendent
Pedro Escobarte, went to Barangay Kiling where
he inaugurated two SEDIP Buildings for Kiling
National High School which serves the students
in the Northern Barangays of Tanauan.
Mayor Tiu said that the SEDIP building has various
components like a home economics building, library
building with faculty room and Guidance room.
The DepEd project calls for counterpart funds
from the provincial government and the municipal
government.
Meanwhile, in Barangay Cabuynan, Governor Petilla
inaugurated the SEDIP Building at the Tanauan
School of Arts and Trade, the newest high school
in the municipality serving the youth in the southern
part, who are in the first year, second year and
third year secondary education. The School will
have its first graduates next year, Mayor Tiu
informed, even as he expressed his joy that all
the four public high schools in Tanauan now have
SEDIP Buildings.
Governor Petilla also turned over five computer
sets while another five sets were turned over
by Mayor Roque Tiu to the Tanauan School of Arts
and Trade, in order to make the public high schools
in the municipality all connected to the cyberworld.
Governor Petilla has chosen the Tanauan National
High School in Tanauan as a pilot ICOT- P IT high
school while the Kiling National High School is
a pilot school for the ICOT-P farming.
These will ensure that the high school graduates
will already be able to engage in economically
productive activities equipped with modern technologies,
Governor Petilla said.
The municipal
officials and the barangays officials together
with the school administration and the students
expressed their sincere appreciation for Governor
Petilla's continued support for the welfare of
the young people of the municipality. (PIA 8) |
