Four school buildings were donated by Pilmico Foods Corporation to the Tomas Cabili National High School Annex - Sta. Elena, a new school situated within a relocation site for Iliganons who were displaced by Sendong. Here are some snaps of the turnover ceremony last August 6.

The four buildings were built at a total cost of P25-million, the biggest corporate social responsibility project of Pilmico, which operates a flour mill and feeds mill in the city.

There are 24 classrooms in all.
