Hurdles for site visit, no problem for PAC iSchools team


A mixture of rough roads and security concerns did not hinder the Pampanga Agricultural College (PAC) 2007 iSchools Project team to get the site inspections done in Maungib and San Jose High Schools, Tarlac.

Aboard the college vehicle, the team led by Engr. Lyndon Solis travelled over partially cemented roads going to Maungib High School. “It was a difficult travel for us since the roads are all muddy because it rained the previous day,” says Engr. Solis.

They were warmly received by Ms. Sherry Cayanan, the school principal. “We hope we will get accepted in iSchools because the school has only one computer unit and there are no telephone lines,” says Ms. Cayanan.

Before proceeding to the next school, the team met with Mrs. Victoria Aguas, district supervisor to inquire about security concerns regarding the vicinity of San Jose High School. A feedback was given by the previous evaluators from the Tarlac College of Agriculture regarding the presence of NPA rebel insurgents in the area. Mrs. Aguas contacted the mayor of San Jose who later gave the information that peace and order was already restored in the place.It was later found out that San Jose High School has a computer laboratory.

After finishing the task in Tarlac, the team went back to Pampanga with high hopes that the two schools were accepted as recipients of the 2007 iSchools project.
