Imagine this: a bustling school environment where parents and guardians hover around the entrance, waiting for their children. It’s a scenario many are all too familiar with, especially at City Central School in Cagayan de Oro City. But, thanks to Cong. Rufus Rodriguez, this scene is transforming into something more community-friendly and comfortable. With the recent construction of a dedicated parents’ waiting lounge and comfort rooms, the once-crowded corners near the school entrance are now spacious and welcoming.
The vision was simple but impactful. Cong. Rufus Rodriguez, alongside Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez, Abamin Party-list former Cong. Maxie Rodriguez, and former Kap. Jonjon Rodriguez, spearheaded this thoughtful initiative. They listened to the community, understood their needs, and took concrete action. The result? A waiting lounge with proper seating and roofing, catering to the parents and guardians who spend a significant part of their day at the school. This project cost around P160,000 and included the construction of essential comfort rooms, making sure that those waiting don’t have to wander off the school premises for this basic necessity.
The newly constructed waiting lounge isn’t just a space with seats and a roof—it’s a game-changer. For many parents who juggle multiple responsibilities, finding a comfortable place to wait for their children is a relief. No longer do they have to stand awkwardly under the sun or get drenched in the rain. This lounge provides a safe haven where they can relax and wait with peace of mind.
Moreover, the addition of a comfort room within the school premises is a significant improvement. Previously, parents and guardians had to step out of the school to find facilities. Now, they have easy access to clean and well-maintained restrooms, enhancing their overall experience. This small change speaks volumes about the commitment of Cong. Rufus Rodriguez to the well-being of the school community.
The grand turnover of these facilities was a momentous occasion. Present were CCS Principal Ms. Annabel Lariba and Parents-Teacher Association (SPTA) President Mr. Wendel Relevo, who expressed their deep gratitude to the Rodriguez family for their timely intervention. Their acknowledgment underscores the importance of these facilities in improving daily school life.
Additionally, Barangay 29 Kap. Ben Autentico and Kag. Irish Aspacio were also present, further highlighting the community-wide support and appreciation for this project. Their presence and support underscore the collaborative effort between the school, local government, and the Rodriguez family to address the needs of the community effectively.
The construction of the waiting lounge and comfort rooms is not just a standalone project. It is part of a broader vision that Cong. Rufus Rodriguez has for the City Central School and its community. Previously, he funded the renovation of comfort rooms in one of the school buildings, which included facilities dedicated to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). This project, which cost more than P130,000, was a testament to his commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.
Looking ahead, Cong. Rufus has allocated P5 million through the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the construction of concrete roads inside the school. This initiative, already turned over, is set to improve the infrastructure significantly, making the school environment safer and more conducive for learning. The Rodriguez family’s commitment to enhancing educational infrastructure is a beacon of hope, promising a brighter future for the students and the entire community.
In conclusion, the efforts of Cong. Rufus Rodriguez and his family are creating ripples of positive change at City Central School. Their initiatives are not just about constructing buildings; they are about building a community where education thrives, and every stakeholder feels valued and supported. With each project, they are laying the foundation for a more inclusive and supportive educational environment, ensuring that City Central School continues to be a place of learning, comfort, and growth for everyone involved.
