CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – For the convenience of the commuting public, a memorandum of understanding was signed at the Capitol Executive House here on Monday between the provincial and city governments and St. Catherine Realty Corp. (SCRC) as well as various transport stakeholders for the establishment of the Pampanga Transport Hub.
