Improving Classrooms Across 25 Public Schools
BACOLOD - The Bacolod City Engineer's Office (CEO) continues to improve and rehabilitate 1,183 classrooms in 25 public schools as the city prepares to host Batang Pinoy 2026. The renovation works include repairs and improvements to ceilings, lighting, windows, electrical facilities, and comfort rooms. These upgrades are intended to make school buildings more functional and comfortable for students and other occupants.
Preparing School Facilities for Visiting Athletes
Batang Pinoy 2026 is scheduled for December 12 to 18, with 35,894 delegates from 207 local government units expected to arrive in Bacolod. Some public schools will serve as temporary accommodation venues for participating athletes, making classroom and facility improvements an important part of the city's preparations. Providing suitable spaces will help support the needs of delegations throughout the national sporting event.
Creating Lasting Benefits for Bacolod Students
Under the leadership of Mayor Greg Gasataya, the classroom rehabilitation program is designed to benefit both visiting participants and the city's young learners. While the improvements help prepare schools for the competition, repaired facilities can continue serving students after the event. Better lighting, functional electrical systems, improved windows, and maintained comfort rooms contribute to a more comfortable setting for everyday learning.
