"This is not a mere building. It is a symbol of hope. It is a symbol of love of President Bongbong Marcos Jr. to you," Angara said.
The facility is the first of its kind, boasting 42 classrooms, nine workshops, an audiovisual room, a library, a clinic, and fully equipped laboratories for home economics, computer studies, chemistry and biology.
It will accommodate 2,000 learners in a single shift once completed.
Angara witnessed the inauguration of the newly completed covered court and gymnasium at Lapu-Lapu City College with Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard Chan.
The project was funded by him as a senator in 2020.
He also inspected Cansojong National High School in Talisay City with Mayor Samsam Gullas, toured the modern Arts and Design building at Lo-ok National High School in Lapu-Lapu City, and met with NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan, Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco, Deputy Speaker Duke Frasco, Special Assistant to the President Secretary Antonio Lagdameo Jr., and other Cabinet and local government officials within the day.
