Fire-hit school in Davao City gets new chairs from Tagum
Posted on Jul 27 2012 by City Info Office LASANG, DAVAO CITY-The Local Government of Tagum City flexed its social responsibility anew as it crossed border just to deliver new school furniture to a fire-ravaged school here last July 25, 2012.
Mayor Rey T. Uy personally went to Alejandra Navarro Elementary School in Lasang, Davao City to officially turn-over the 170 pieces of desks, 100 kiddie chairs and 6 rostrums fabricated through his brainchild project dubbed as the Care for School Chairs (CFSC) Program.
A fire destroyed nine of the classrooms in the said school last July 13, 2012, damaging at least 500 school chairs, according to the school principal.
Tagum's local chief executive was joined by Davao City Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, who hailed Tagum's CFSC Program and thanked Mayor Uy for readily extending assistance to the school even if it does not include in his area of responsibility.
Duterte then assured Uy that he will speed-up the transfer to Tagum of a sizable volume of confiscated logs stored in a container van in one of the ports of Davao.
“Ako na ng ipadala kang Mayor Uy kay controlled iyang sistema ug kinasing-kasing ilang trabaho didto,” stressed Duterte. This was welcomed by Uy who expressed that this should be done as soon as possible for the logs to be exposed and to be air-dried to prevent possible decay.
After a short program, Duterte gave Uy an aerial tour around Davao City using the vice mayor's chopper before heading back to Tagum. Meanwhile, the CFSC Program also went to the Municipality of Bansalan in the Province of Davao del Sur last July 24, 2012 where 260 pieces of armchairs and 100 pieces of kiddie chairs were given.
Bansalan Mayor Edwin Reyes accepted the donated school furniture from Mayor Rey T. Uy.
As of July 25, 2012, a total of 58, 202 pieces of school furniture consisting of armchairs, desks, tables, kiddie chairs, computer tables, bookshelves, rostrums were already made and delivered by LGU Tagum through the CFSC since August 2011.
