Marcos' School Inspection Uncovers Urgent Repair Needs in Bulacan

President Marcos's school inspection in Bulacan highlights urgent infrastructure needs. A week before the start of the school year, President Bongbong Marcos visited schools in San Miguel and Malolos, Bulacan. His inspection revealed significant issues, including termite-damaged ceilings in multiple classrooms at Tibagan Elementary School in San Miguel. The principal reported that 14 out of 17 classrooms had damaged ceilings, requiring immediate replacement with metal framing. Restroom problems were also noted, with teachers reporting limited or no water supply in some areas. One teacher, Michelle Montanez, stated, "Minsan po kasi talaga mahirap po yung tubig" ("Sometimes the water is really difficult"). The video also shows the president's visit to Barihan Elementary School in Malolos, where he observed Brigada Eskwela activities. Secretary Sonny Angara expressed optimism about community involvement in preparing schools for the upcoming school year, stating, "...talagang yung buong komunidad ay naka-mobilize para tulungan ang ating mga paaralan" ("...the whole community is mobilized to help our schools"). The timely nature of the inspection and the issues highlighted underscore the importance of addressing school infrastructure challenges before the start of classes.
