TARLAC CITY (PIA) — Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) completed various infrastructure projects in Gerona, Tarlac.
It includes four multipurpose buildings (MPBs) located in barangays Matapitap, Luna, Danzo and Buenlag.
Tarlac 1st District Engineer Neil Farala disclosed that the agency earmarked a total of P26.41 million for the MPBs.
“They are part of DPWH’s Basic Infrastructure Program which aims to support the delivery of social services in the barangay level through infrastructure development,” he explained.
