WATER: The leak in the Grade School complex has been stopped. There are still a number of problematic distribution lines at the Blue Eagle Gym but these are being acted on. The leak near the security office last Wednesday night was due to a dislocated joint on the water line. The line was affected by the roots of an adjacent tree.



The leak at the junction of the Grade School car park and Fr. Masterson Road reported by drivers and pedestrians was due to an old gasket that had to be replaced.



1. The Grade School cistern was put up in 1994 and is one of the oldest on campus. A defective gate valve had to be replaced last Friday, 8 February.

2. The High School cistern pressure tank was repaired this morning after it burst. The High School cistern was constructed also in the early 1990’s.

Monitoring carparks is time-consuming and a strain to campus security. The option of imposing a P2,000.00 penalty for unlocked cars is now being considered. This may be imposed next school year. Drivers who leave their cars unlocked should shoulder the cost of security.

MAINTENANCE: Some of the repairs done on campus last week.



1. The damaged concrete block along Seminary Drive near the Department of Communication carpark.

2. The manhole near the Sonolux building was clogged and caused water to overflow to the street.

3. The clogged manhole was cleaned.

4. The damaged manhole cover before the waiting shed between Loyola House of Studies and San Jose Seminary posed danger to users of the stairs leading to De la Costa Housing.

5. The manhole with the repaired cover now in place.





1. On Katipunan before Gate 1 coming from Aurora Boulevard , there is a manhole without a cover.

2. The manhole cover may have been damaged by the armored car that would illegally park along the sidewalk.

3. A Grade School teacher fell in this manhole several years ago during the rainy season when the area was flooded. The community is warned to be careful when passing the area.
