We are grateful to the military engineering corps, who built this school. Thank you for building it so beautifully.

We are thankful to Korean JTS donors, who provided financial support. Lastly, I want to thank the JTS Philippines representative and volunteers who took responsibility for this project and worked hard to make this construction possible.
