This event treads another milestone in its quest to provide with an excellent educational academy in the region through this facility which sooner or later this building expectedly will provide a conducive environment for learning to train school heads.

“As a steward of this facility, we hope to maintain and safeguard the property particularly in maximizing its utilization. Thus, paving the way for this office to conduct array of activities that will help improve or capacitate personnel from the regional office down to its field offices”, said Borres.

She further said that, “clear identification of the necessity follows the realization of a new building which have been designed to meet different needs in the region.”

Despite the absence of other amenities to make the function halls fully equip, the training schedules have already been in full swing in its operation to date.

The office is grateful to its leaders in their laudable efforts which made this dream realized in the appropriate season whereby it is in time for the series of trainings that are already lined up in the Human Resource Development Division.
