THE Zamboanga City Government has turned over a P14.78 million school building constructed in Tulungatung village, west of this city.

The turnover of the project, which consisted of two-story eight-classroom building, was spearheaded by Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar.

The recipient of the project is the Tulungatung National High School.

Salazar said the inauguration of the school building forms part of her administration’s priority thrust on education under the Security, Health and Education (SHE) program.

The Tulungatung National High School building is one of the 21 climate-resilient school buildings amounting to over P322 million programmed for implementation in different villages this year.

The newly-inaugurated school building is the third climate-resilient edifice to be unveiled in a month’s time.

The building boasts of structural cum-architectural designs that can withstand weather conditions resulting from climate change, having rain collector for comfort room usage, higher elevation to prevent flood water from entering the classrooms, wider hallways, Persons with Disability (PWD) accessibility, and all rooms have breather ventilation space, among other features.
