Olivarez said the new building of the school, occupying a 400-square meter lot located at Col. E De Leon, Wawa St., Barangay Sto. Nino, is being funded by the city government, with the project amounting to P60 million.
He said the new building to be built will have 12 classrooms, a food court, a school library and laboratories.
The mayor added the additional building will also have indoor gyms for school activities.
Olivarez said the additional school building is a historic project in Barangay Sto. Nino since the barangay was known as an educational hub.
He said aside from the PUP campus, Sto. Nino National High School, Parañaque Science National High School, Parañaque City Public Library, and the Therapy Center for Children with Special Needs, which is the second SPED Therapy center in the country, are also located in the barangay.
Olivarez, who is an educator and a registered nurse, wants his administration to continue to implement projects aimed at giving quality education to students.
