THE CALOOCAN City Government has officially launched a new co-working space designed to support students, researchers, and employees in need of a quiet and accessible place to study or work.

Called Caloocan Connect, the facility is located on the fifth floor of Caloocan City Hall–South and is now open to the public.

The hub offers a range of free amenities, including Wi-Fi access, printing services, light snacks, and designated spaces for group discussions and conferences.

Caloocan City Mayor Dale Gonzalo Malapitan said the initiative aims to address the shortage of suitable workspaces for many residents.

“Binuksan po natin ang Caloocan Connect dahil batid ko po na maraming Batang Kankaloo—mga estudyante, guro, at empleyado—ang nauubusan ng espasyo sa mga mall at coffee shop para matapos ang kanilang gawain sa trabaho o eskwela,” Malapitan said.

He added that the facility is intended to provide direct support and promote productivity by offering a safe and conducive environment.

“Direktang tulong po natin ito upang lalo pa silang ma-engganyo na pagbutihin ang kanilang pag-aaral at hindi na mangamba kung may ligtas at angkop na lugar para sa kanilang mga gawain,” he said.

The mayor also reminded visitors to observe proper decorum to maintain a peaceful atmosphere inside the facility.

“Paalala lang po, panatilihin natin ang katahimikan, kaayusan, at kalinisan sa loob ng Caloocan Connect upang matiwasay na makapag-aral at makapagtrabaho ang lahat,” he added.

Caloocan Connect is open from Monday to Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Visitors are required to present a valid ID upon entry.
