The decision of the Civil Aviation Authority of the
Philippines (CAAP) regarding the problem of the Caticlan Elementary School in
Malay is being awaited.
According to Caticlan Elementary School Principal, Antonio
Justo Cahilig, only some of the problems experienced by their school are the
noise coming from the landing and taking off of airplanes at the airport which
is situated right beside the school.
Cahilig said the decision of the management of CAAP is still
being awaited regarding the matter and on what is the better alternative so
that the studies of children will not be affected.
The Principal added they have heard information from the
Local Government Unit (LGU) of Malay and the CAAP that the school will be relocated
to a place which is far from the airport but there is no clarity on the matter
yet.
He also asked for help from the management of TransAir so
that the school will be given sliding windows to replace the normal windows of
the school, so that the noise brought about by airplanes entering the school’s classrooms,
will be minimized.
He further added that there are instances when teachers just
have to stop teaching when an airplane lands or takes off at the nearby airport.
For now, the Caticlan’s school is confident that the
government of Malay will give attention to their problem for the benefit of
their students.
