Laoag City—The Ilocos Norte National High School (INNHS) can now keep pace with the increasing number of enrollees each year as two classrooms were added to their school building.

The said classrooms were formally inaugurated on March 10 by local officials and students led by Ilocos Norte Governor Ma. Imelda “Imee” R. Marcos, Ilocos Norte Vice Governor Eugenio Angelo M. Barba and Laoag Mayor Chevylle V. Fariñas.

The new classrooms are the INNHS’ extension building along the Sirib Mile.

The construction of the classrooms was made possible through the counter-parting scheme between the Ilocos Norte government and the Dept. of Education (DepEd).

The same scheme is also being used to build more classrooms in the province to ease the shortage of classrooms.

With about P50 million allocated for classroom construction, at least 44 new classrooms in Paoay Lake National High School and in Paoay Central Elementary School will be constructed.

According to the DepEd, classroom shortage is still a perennial problem in the Philippine public school system as millions of new entrants enroll in public school each year.

The introduction of universal kindergarten in all public schools as part of the K+12 education reform program also resulted in a higher demand for classrooms across the country.

Earlier, the DepEd has signed a memorandum of agreement with the League of Cities, League of Municipalities and League of Provinces of the Philippines and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) for the implementation of the classroom construction counter-parting program


As a general protocol, the DBM will assist the DepEd in identifying the appropriate funding sources under its budget and facilitate the release of allotment upon submission of required documents.

By
MARCOS, Ilocos Norte—Taking pride of this town ’s favorite Ilo cano dish, locally known as pinakbet, a mix of indigenous vegetables steamed in fish sauce, residents here ushered the opening of the third Pinakbet festival. “Pinakbet” came from the contracted Ilokano word ‘pinakebbet ’ which means “ shrunk ” or “shriveled.” As a way of thanksgiving, the Pinakbet festival is a repository of the town ’ s “ani” [harvest] festival being celebrated every month of March but this was later moved to December to accommodate more balikbayans wanting to join the festivity.
