In an interview, the principal said the single-storey old building made of wooden materials, which housed two classrooms, is not considered as a heritage site thus its demolition was allowed by the commission.

The site, where the old building was built is the same and exact location where the two storey multipurpose school building will be constructed. Its completion is expected to be on June 21 this year.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 3rd Engineering District Office is implementing the construction with an appropriation of P5 million. Camarines Sur 3rd District Rep. Gabriel Bordado Jr. initiated the project.
