BALANGA CITY (PIA) — The Department of Public Works and Highways has completed a P4.8-million multi-purpose building in Balanga City, Bataan.
Located in Barangay Cataning-Tenejero, the new facility addresses the community’s limited access to venues for learning opportunities.
It provides a dedicated space for career-building workshops, vocational training, job application assistance, and personal development programs.
Project Engineer Arlene Cabantog emphasized the significance of the facility in giving residents better opportunities for skills development and economic empowerment.
“Having the multi-purpose building as an accessible learning space in fostering skills development and economic empowerment will bridge the gap in equipping the residents with the necessary skills and tools to improve their livelihood opportunities and ultimately, their quality of life,” she highlighted.
The multi-purpose building serves as a venue for livelihood training and socio-economic programs that equip individuals with lifelong skills, contributing to community development.
Funded under the 2024 General Appropriations Act, the newly completed structure offers a spacious and well-ventilated area for various training programs, workshops, and educational initiatives to enhance the skills and knowledge of residents in the village. (CLJD/RPQ, PIA Region 3-Bataan)
