The Diclum Elementary School receives a two grants to repair the 40-year old Marcos Pre-Fab building this July. The first grant costing 100,000 will be used to repair its partition walls and ceiling. Second grant covers walls and window repairs also amounting 100,000. These grants were made possible by the DepEd's Engineering Office and will commence this 3rd week of July.
The Marcos pre-fab building is a 3-unit classroom school house built in 1971. Since it was built, it housed the classrooms of the two grade six classes under Miss Priscilla F. Pelingon and Mrs. Maria A. Sa-onoy (later replaced by Mrs. Lilia Asgar upon her retirement in 1991) and the Kindergarten (where Miss Sebelleno used to have as her office in 1970s). During its hey days, the Marcos pre-fab was considered as typhoon-resistant because it is made up of iron bars and trusses.
It will be the first time that the building will undergo wall repair 40 years after it was built. And also, the first time ever that it will be placed with a ceiling, replacing the "salidap" or weaved coconut leaves that has been in place since 1970s
