Vice Governor Dennis 'Delta' Pineda of Pampanga has made a strong appeal to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for a standardized construction approach to government-funded school buildings. This call comes as the region grapples with ongoing issues of incomplete classroom facilities.
During the inauguration of two new school buildings in Sasmuan, Pineda invited DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon to tour local school facilities built through the Special Education Fund (SEF). He emphasized the critical need for timely completion to avoid delays.
It is important that once a school building project starts, it should not stop until completion. We need to ensure that when a building begins, it must finish without delays.

Funding delays typically cause interruptions in school construction, as resources are released in phases. Pineda also stressed the necessity for complete furnishings, such as desks and chairs, to be provided before handing over new buildings to school officials.
- Classrooms often lack necessary furnishings upon completion.
- Delays in funding lead to halted construction projects.
Pineda reaffirmed the provincial government's commitment to enhancing the education sector through improved facilities and financial support for students. He believes these initiatives are vital for providing better educational opportunities and fostering a brighter future for the youth.
