Two school buildings in Batangas City were repaired by SM Foundation in fulfillment with its commitment to undertake the maintenance and repair of school buildings it has donated. The school buildings that underwent repair recently belong the Navera National High School in Barangay Concepcion, turned over by SM Foundation in July 2010 and the Bulacnin National High School in Barangay Bulacnin, Lipa City, over in January 2010.
Both buildings are one-storey, two-classroom edifices which were donated by SM Prime Holdings through the SM Foundation.
Repair works in the Navera National High School building included repainting of exterior and interior; repair of downspout and comfort room; replacement of doors, electrical outlets, and broken window jalousies; and repainting of side wall and roof signage.
For the Bulacnin National High School, the exterior and interior of the building were likewise repainted, repair of the down spout, the ceiling and the replacement of broken jalousies. The side wall was repainted and blackboards repaired.
SM Foundation normally revisits the donated schools every five years to check on needed repairs. However, when needed repair works are brought to SMFI’s attention, the Foundation immediately sends a team to check on them even before the five-year repair schedule. Juris Soliman, SMIC Consultant headed the repair team that undertook the repairs.
