Additional Security for Kamia and Sampa

A request has been made to add another security personnel for the Kamia and Sampaguita Resdicence Halls during the morning (7 AM - 7 PM) shift. At present, the neighboring dorms share one security personnel at the said time.

Back Parking Lot CLOSED on November 3 and 4

Below is an electronic message from Sir Capuno:

Dear All,

The parking lot at the back of Encarnacion Hall will be closed for renovation on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Since the required amount of gravel is more than what we originally anticipated, we now have to place a bigger order and thus follow the usual bidding process. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks.

Regards,

JJCapuno
