STUDENTS in the remote community of Barangay Burabod, Camarines Sur had to walk for approximately 5 kilometers in order to reach the nearest high school establishment, and some even had to pass by an unstable rope bridge just to get to school.
To address this problem, Philam Foundation responded to the request made by then Camarines Sur Congresswoman and now Vice President Leni Robredo to build two new classrooms in the said Barangay.
The classrooms were showcased during the recently concluded classroom turnover at the Severo High School.
The Philam Paaralan classrooms that can accommodate 100 students, are fully-furnished, well-lit, ventilated, and complete with restrooms and water sanitation and hygiene facilities. They are calamity-resilient and can withstand up to 300kph of typhoon strength. /PR
