A School in a No school Zone

For anyone passing through the area of Miriam College and Ateneo every morning, lunch and afternoon, rush hour traffic is common due to the schools and other establishments. The other day, I stumbled onto a blog in the other provider – blogspot.com that was talking about another school that was supposed to be built. You can read details here: http://notomiiskatipunan.blogspot.com/2014/07/no-to-planned-miis-school-along.html

Why am I ranting about this? No.1 the area is a no school zone based on the ordinances of the city. That means no more additional schools can be built. Then why is this school MIIS (  Multiple Intelligence International School ) still planning to build a school there? Who is backing it and making it happen? Well, Who else but a politician… the same one that sold the lot to MIIS and the same one that authored the ordinance for no schools. Ironic isnt it?

Another point is the stupidity of the school.. did they nt check the area 1st? It’s very near the fault line in Quezon City. They plan to put a 10 story building there? what will happen when an earthquake hits? The building falls down on the subdivision behind it.

Another point is that – its a regulation that schools are not allowed to be put up in major thoroughfares! And is Katipunan Ave not a major thorough fare?

My god – what is happening here? Violating City ordinances, Violating Deped Guidelines. Putting Children and the surrounding communities at risk and causing more traffic in the City!!
