You asked for the following information on the UPRHS Main Building, UPRHS Science Building and UPRHS Senior High Building: 

1) Estimate Cost; 2) As Built Plans; and 3) Bidding Proposals

The purpose for your request is for your SHS Capstone Project.

“The right of the people to information on matters of public concern shall be recognized. Access to official records, and to the documents, and papers pertaining to official acts, transactions, or decisions, as well as to government research data used as basis for policy development, shall be afforded the citizen, subject to such limitations as many be provided by law.”
