Incoming Quezon City 4th District Representative Bong “Superman” Suntay has committed to finishing the long-delayed multi-purpose building at Carlos L. Albert High School—an infrastructure project initially started under outgoing Congressman Marvin Rillo.
Originally promised as a state-of-the-art gym, the project has remained incomplete for nearly two years, with only the foundation and a few structural components built so far, despite reports of a ₱71 million initial budget.
In a recent inspection, Cong. Bong Suntay expressed his intention to move the project forward—but with practicality and transparency at its core.
“Ang mahalaga, matapos natin ang proyekto para magamit na ng mga estudyante, guro, at magulang. Pero kailangan din nating siguraduhin na hindi sobra-sobra ang ginagastos. Sa totoo lang, hindi makatwiran na umabot pa ng higit ₱200 milyon ang isang school gym. Gagawin natin itong maayos, functional, at tunay na kapaki-pakinabang—hindi nakatuon sa pabonggahan, kundi talagang mapapakinabangan.”
Suntay emphasized that his office is now working closely with the District Engineering Office to assess the current status and realign the project with the needs of the school and the community.
“Ayusin natin ito sa abot-kaya. Ang goal natin: matapos ito nang hindi na mag-antay ng ilang taon pa, at higit sa lahat, magamit na bilang isang ligtas at maayos na pasilidad para sa pagkatuto at mga aktibidad ng kabataan.”
As Suntay officially assumes office on June 30, his team will announce further updates, including budget realignments and timelines. He assured the public that the project will not be shelved, but will instead be continued in a manner that is both responsible and responsive to the community’s needs.
