ASSESSMENT OF GABALDON BUILDING STARTED TODAY
With the information that funds for the rehabilitation of the Gabaldon building at Manuel Lugod ES is available, the Physical Facilities Coordinator of Gingoog City Division, together with DepED Engineer Sandy Simo went to Manuel Lugod ES to have a personal look at the condition of the building. The floor in one of the seven classrooms was opened up, enough for the engineer to go down. Engr. Simo studied the structure below and saw some floor joist that needs replacement. The floor itself needs many replacements, owing to the age of the building, which was supposedly built in 1932. Engineer Simo started making exploratory drawings/sketches to have a clear guide for estimating repair works. The building has seven rooms, four at the corners and three in the middle. Architect Patawaran explained that before, the four corner rooms served as classrooms while the three middle classrooms have movable partitions that served as session hall for functions like meetings, school convocations
