TALAVERA, Nueva Ecija (PIA) — Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) completed a multipurpose building in Lupao, Nueva Ecija.
The 144-square meter structure now serves as a facility for the Senior Citizens Association of barangay San Antonio Este.
DPWH Nueva Ecija 1st OIC-District Engineer Osias Santos disclosed that the facility includes a spacious multipurpose hall suitable for meetings and other events.
“Completion of the MPB will undoubtedly benefit the barangay’s elderly as it would help promote a sense of community and provide a home for them to gather and engage in various socio-civic activities,” he added.
The structure is equipped with a disability ramp and three restrooms, one of which is intended for Persons with Disabilities.
It also includes a kitchen, electrical room, and an area designated for janitorial storage.
The project was carried out with a total budget allocation of P4.9 million, sourced from the 2023 General Appropriations Act. (CLJD-PIA 3)
