Question again Sirs, we decided to use drywall as room divisions, are these sturdy enough? Sabi kasi ng foreman, I need to use wood instead of metal for frames para daw di uuga. I was thinking if this is true or di lang sya marunong mag latag Ng metal frame

Metal is fine. You won't be bothered w/ wood borers. You can budget-insulate w/ fire-rated polystyrene of the stud thickness stuffed between wall panels. Just prep areas where you might wanna hang or attach heavy items. If you need to randomly hang light frames, check for the proper drywall anchors like those in pic for your desired application. You could space your vertical studs 16"oc instead of 24", should you want sturdy, sir.

Thanks Sir Travs, is 16" already the perfect balance in terms of economy and strength?

Yeah...drywalls are commonly 48" wide. 16" would give you studs at 3rd of width....way sturdier than half w/c 24"oc gives.
You may keep the horizontals 8' apart(board height) or half that. Sample a panel to get the feel of stability you're ok with.

Sir Travs, do you have better alternatives in mind? I also saw at Philconstruct, a lightweight board made of mixed polystyrene and cement and another, a polystyrene board with welded wire mesh at both sides for plaster, any comment on these two? Thanks [emoji4]

Yeah, alternative boards & 3D panels(EVG is the popular brand) have their advantages. The latter is locally licensed by Eastern Wire Mfg, Inc. It's pretty simple & doable. Great if you've shotcrete. It'll be lighter but harder to break than your traditional CHB. Compare costs & manpower load/skill requirements. Discussions on these will be lengthy & boring.[emoji4]
Read up on the system instead? Call will be yours.
