What happened
The Davao City Council approved an ordinance allowing Sebastian Duterte to sign a memorandum of agreement with the Department of Education for a new school building in Paquibato District.

Why it matters
The project addresses the need for new facilities, as the existing classrooms at Binowang Elementary School are deteriorated, with the oldest building dating back to 1964. The city must sign the agreement soon to ensure the allocated Development Fund money is released and not reverted.
The city government, led by the Mayor, has established stations and prioritized services within Paquibato District.
