Construction companies Megawide, BF Corporation, DM Wenceslao & Associates and the Vicente T. Lao Constructors/BSP & Co. Inc. will build model school buildings under DepEd’s PPP for School building Project (PSIP II) as part of the requirements stated in the invitation documents for prospective bidders. The four companies were asked to draw lots to determine their assigned construction locations in Pampanga. DepEd chose the site for its proximity to Manila. The construction locations include Mexico National High School, San Nicholas Elementary School, Mabalacat Central School, Dr. Adelaido Bernardo National High School Cuayan Elementary School, Rafael Lazatin Memorial High School, Ayala High School and Manibuag Libutad Elementary School.

The four construction firms should turn over the completed prototype of the school buildings for evaluation on or before June 17, the deadline for the submission of their technical and financial proposals. The PSIP II will be awarded through competitive public bidding as a PPP project using the Build- Transfer scheme under the BOT Law. The PSIP Phase II involves the design, financing, and construction of around 10,679 one-storey and two-storey classrooms, including furniture, fixtures and toilets, in 5,033 public schools in 14 regions nationwide.
