CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Gov. Dennis “Delta” Pineda led on Friday the

Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte noong 2021. Mayroon itong 42 air-conditioned rooms
na may kanya-kanyang comfort rooms. Mag-uukol din tayo ng kwarto para sa mga
doktor at sa nurse station,” said the governor.
“Maraming salamat po sa pamahalaang nasyunal para sa ibinigay ninyong pondo
para maisakatuparan itong proyektong ‘to, malaking tulong po ito sa mga
mamamayan ng Pampanga, lalo na’t hindi pa natitigil ang pandemya,” he added.
The provincial government, for its part, will fund the procurement of medical
equipment to be installed in the facility for its initial operations.
