She said the Christmas lights-up ceremony will be anchored on the theme “In unity there is hope, and when we have hope, we can unite.”
The three independent cities, which are not under the jurisdiction of the Cebu provincial government, will be participating. Expected to attend are Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes, and Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard Chan. Meanwhile, the Department of Education in Central Visayas has announced that there are now only about a thousand classrooms left unrepaired out of the more 5,000 rooms that were damaged by Odette in December 2021.
In a separate interview, Deped-7 director Salustiano Jimenez said he thanked the local governments and the non-government organizations for helping in the repair of the classrooms throughout the region. “This is aside from the help from the central office with Secretary Sara always on the go and always following up for updates on the repairs,” Jimenez said.
