EDUCATION Secretary Sonny Angara led the groundbreaking ceremony for the country’s first 12-story, medium-rise public school building at Don Vicente Rama Memorial National High School in Cebu City.

“Hindi lang ito gusali. It’s not a mere building. It is a symbol of hope. Simbolo po ito ng pagmamahal sa inyo ng ating mahal na Pangulo, President Bongbong Marcos Jr.,” Angara emphasized.

“Sa 4,000 students na nandito, makakauwi na ng maaga ‘yung kalahati doon, at masusundan pa itong building na ito,” he added.

Also present at the event were Budget and Management Secretary Amenah Pangandaman, Public Works and Highways Secretary Manuel Bonoan, and Cebu City South District Rep. Eduardo “Edu” Rama, Jr.

Aside from the groundbreaking, Angara also joined President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. at the Central Visayas Regional Development Council meeting. They discussed updates on 10 presidential priority projects, major regional development challenges, and strategic solutions presented by the National Economic and Development Authority.

Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia and Bohol Governor Aris Aumentado hosted the regional meeting.
