The P2.4-billion Ramon Magsaysay High School building in España Boulevard, Sampaloc, Manila, is targeted for completion by 2027, with classes expected to begin in the new facility for School Year 2027–2028. 

Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso and Vice Mayor Chi Atienza recently led an inspection of the 10-story structure, joined by City Engineer Armand Andres.
Andres told Manila Bulletin that the current target is to finish the building by February 2027.

During the visit, Domagoso, along with Andres, met with construction workers to check on the progress of the project.

Domagoso, Atienza, and Andres review the school’s blueprint on-site to ensure construction progress remains aligned with the project plan.

The school building project, which broke ground in June 2020, experienced delays but has since resumed.

In February, Domagoso led the ceremony marking the resumption of construction, where he vowed to complete the project within 12 months.

Once completed, the facility is expected to help address classroom shortages and improve the student-teacher ratio in Manila’s public schools.

The new building will feature modern facilities, including a sports and wellness center, a basketball court, and a possible football field to support both academic and physical development of students.

Established in 1954, the school was named after former President Ramon Magsaysay. It is one of Manila’s long-standing public schools in Sampaloc.

It has served generations of Manileño students, with many of its aging facilities prompting the city government to push for a full upgrade through the new multi-storey building.
