MABALACAT, Pampanga – The provincial government has allotted P17.5 million for the town’s various projects in health, infrastructure and solid waste management.
Governor Lilia Pineda made the announcement during the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Doña Maria Multi-purpose Hall in Barangay Dau last Monday. She was accompanied by Vice Gov. Joseller Guiao.
Pineda said the construction of the multi-purpose hall worth P3.5-million was initiated of the members of the provincial board, including First District Board Members Cris Garbo and Tars Halili.
“Nung ali pu karela, ali tamu mirenan budget, anya pasalamat ku rin pu karela,” said Pineda.
Pineda said he plans to provide an office for the senior citizens of Mabalacat as well as the town’s health workers in the new multi-purpose hall.
Doña Maria Multi-purpose Hall will also serve as the venue for the provincial government’s medical missions and minor operations, Pineda added.
The provincial government has also allocated P14-million for the Mabalacat District Hospital, said Pineda.
The newly renovated district hospital will be provided with new medical and diagnostic equipment.
“Hindi na rin po problema ang mga gamot at espesyalista. Ang mga gamot lagi nang meron dahil may consignment na tayo sa mga suppliers at naghahanap na tayo ng magagaling na doktor para lalong maserbisyuhan ang mgamay sakit,” Pineda said.
The governor will also give 6-wheeler garbage truck through the initiative of Guiao, who will run for First District Congressman in 2013.
