THE Mandaue City government is seeking the help of the private sector to flood-proof the Cesar M. Cabahug Elementary School in sitio Paradise, barangay Looc.

Mayor Jonas Cortes told  reporters that the city government  is already coordinating with the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. to immediately address the flooding problem.

Low-lying  classrooms he said will have to be elevated to overcome flooding. Additional classrooms with elevated floors are also set to be built in the school.

Earlier the city government was considering transfering the school to an adjacent 3,125 square meters lot.
