Students of Iloilo City National High School (ICNHS) now benefit from a newly blessed and inaugurated four-story school building featuring 12 classrooms, enhancing their learning environment.
City Government's Education Investment
The project is part of the Iloilo City Government's ongoing efforts to strengthen support for the education sector by providing improved and adequate learning facilities. Mayor Raisa Treñas emphasized that the new building represents an investment in the future of the city's learners.
"I still remember how many of us spent our school days sharing classrooms, borrowing resources, and making the most of what we had. That's why every new facility we build matters. It means students can learn in a safer, more comfortable, and more inspiring environment. For me, classrooms play a significant role in the learning journey of our children," the mayor said.
Addressing Classroom Shortages
Treñas added that the new facility will help address classroom shifting and provide more students with the opportunity to study in a better and more inspiring environment. She directly addressed the students: "To our students, I want you to know that this building was built for you. Use it well. Take care of it. Fill these classrooms with curiosity, creativity, hard work, and kindness. Someday, when you look back, I hope you will remember that your journey toward your dreams was strengthened by the opportunities that began here."
Recognition of Stakeholders
The mayor acknowledged the contributions of the school administration, teachers, staff, parents, and other stakeholders who helped make the project possible. The Iloilo City Government continues to prioritize education as a key foundation for building a stronger, more competitive, and more progressive Iloilo City for future generations.
