Mayor Vico Sotto said the city government allotted P1.2 billion for the procurement of gadgets such as laptops and tablets.
"Nakita natin kaagad na medyo mabigat, malaki-laking pondo ang kailangan nating ilaan kung sakaling bibili tayo ng mga devices para sa ating mga mag-aaral," Sotto said.
"Binasag natin ang mga alkansya natin para makabuo ng P1.2 billion para sa learning devices ng ating mag-aaral," he added.
