Ozamiz City-  Mayor Nova Princess Parojinog-Echavez and Schools Division  Superintendent  Dr. Rosa Lantaca  has distributed the  various school supplies  and school bags for the  grade one-grade three pupils  in public elementary school in the rural areas.

The distribution of the said school supplies was started  mid of July, by  Mayor Nova herself and Mr. Federico Arañego Jr., one of the  education supervisor s of  DepEd Ozamiz representing  Dr. Lantaca.

For this school year, this project is  dubbed as  Abag pang-eskuwela gikan ni Mayor Nova.

Dr.   Lantaca lauded  the young Lady Mayor for  choosing  the  school supplies and school  bags  project  for the  depressed barangays, because this is the real needs of the school children.

“  This is very timely, unexpected answer  to the basic needs  of  school children. It  helped their attendance in school , “ Dr. Lantaca pointed out.

The Schools Division Superintendent added, that  the Department of Education  itself  has been implementing  programs  in helping  indigent school  children to continue  their studies in amidst of their parent’s financial scarcity.

“  Ozamiz is very lucky because our mayor is into this direction”,  Dr. Lantaca said.  

The  Abag pang-eskuwela  gikan ni Mayor Nova project is funded under the Local School Board Funds jointly implemented by the office of the city Mayor and the office of the Schools Division Superintendent

Giving of school supplies and school bags is the pet  project of  Mayor Nova  even  before she became the Mayor.

Based on the National Household Targeting System survey of the Department of Social Welfare and Development Office for the Pantawid Pamilya Program ,    families living in the rural areas of  Ozamiz are all sending their children to school but the chance  of completing  the  elementary education is   thin.

She has the  fervent desire of giving  gift to school children may it things or  foods as what she did way back   time of her  19^th  birthday celebration years before she decided  to enter into  politics.

Dr. Lantaca  said, she gave  big” 9” rating for  Mayor Nova Princess Parojinog-Echavez  for her  strong commitment  to  support  in improving  the  physical  aspect of all schools within Ozamiz and helped promote education  by  attending to  whatever needs  a school administrator  approached to her office.

“  I appreciated her  priorities especially for DepED   in  which I can best  tell  how  sincere she is  in achieving  the  vision of  “Better Image better lives”.

Dr.  Lantaca clarified  that Mayor Echavez   has just  served  as  the local chief executive of Ozamiz for about  a year and a month  but  she  completed  several  school buildings funded under the  Special Education Fund.  

The official records  from the  list of  infrastructure  projects ,  classrooms and school buildings construction  funded  under the  local school board  is already amounting to  more than  P3-M  for a period of just one year.
