DINALUPIHAN, Bataan: Schoolchildren in an Aeta village here continued to hold classes for the second year in seven container vans, pending completion of a new school building. Air-conditioned container vans serve as classrooms of the Bayan-Bayanan Elementary School in the upland village in Dinalupihan. Even if the container vans are air-conditioned, it is very crowded and not conducive to teaching. “We have been using seven container vans as classrooms since July last year This was given by the administration of Mayor Maria Angela Garcia,” he said. Since then they evacuated to the barangay (village) plaza where they held classes in hot, crowded and poorly-lighted huts and the chapel until the arrival of the container vans.
