HIS advocacy for education has led a businessman to donate his P6 million retirement pay for the construction of a public school building.
Go Sing King, former chairman of the Board of GSK Realtech Corp. who is turning 100 years old on Saturday, was very happy to know of the successful blessing and turnover of the six-classroom two-story building to Basak Elementary School in Mandaue City last Saturday.
Amado Go, son of Go Sing King and president of GSK Realtech, the company managing Cenapro Chemical Corp., said their father decided to donate the retirement benefits he received from GSK Realtech after seeing that many children were still using makeshift tents due to the shortage of classrooms.
The GSK Realtech Corp. added P2 million to build the six-classroom, two-story typhoon resilient building worth P8 million.
Go Sing King has been extending assistance to various schools in Mandaue City for the past several years.
Mandaue Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Virginia Zapanta expressed gratitude to the management of GSK Realtech Corp.
She promised to take good care of the building so that future generations would also benefit from it.
Teachers of Basak Elementary School, DepEd officials, Mandaue City Councilor Demetrio Cortes Jr. and others who were present during the ceremony were impressed and inspired by Go Sing King’s desire to help the children.
Go Sing King, however, was not able to attend the blessing and turnover rites as his physical condition limits him from going out of his residence.
