To make the AGFO Center more appealing to the Association members and prevent further deterioration, the Management Team with the approval of the Board of Trustees (BOT) embarked on renovation and repairs on some of its vital facilities inside the compound. These include the Canteen, overall electrical connections, restrooms and the social hall.

The Canteen underwent major repairs on its electrical connections, roofing, rest rooms and overall ventilation. The repair started in March and lasted till August and entailed Php270,678 for labor and materials. The facility was repaired some 20 years ago. Likewise, to ensure a robust electrical connections the Management Team caused the removal of the old dangling live main wires attached to the upper front building wall and re-installed new wires passing through the side and back portion of the structure. The camp engineer provided technicians for the purpose. This activity cost Php50,000 for the electrical wires and appurtenances. The rest room area also went through renovation by converting the dressing room in the Chairman’s office into additional, all-gender comfort room. In addition the existing restrooms went through partial re-tiling and slight renovation of the old male toilet, replacement of all exhaust fans, and repainting. The Association spent Php103,260 for this activity. Given the inoperable and inadequate air-conditioning units (ACU) in the social hall, main lobby and the boardroom, 2 new split-type ACUs were procured, one each for the social hall and the lobby; while a reconditioned window-type AC was installed to augment the existing ACU. The Association spent Php133,405 for this specific project. |
Out of the total expenses for partial renovation and repairs worth Php454,083, two (2) AGFO members, who chose to remain anonymous, donated Php125,000.
The Management Team has recommended to the BOT an annual budget allocation for the upkeep and repairs and enjoined the canteen operator to adhere to existing policies on the proper maintenance of the facility, including sanitation and cleanliness, to prevent deterioration and fire hazards.
