CABANATUAN CITY (PIA) — Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) enhanced various community facilities at barangay Maugat in San Antonio, Nueva Ecija.
These include the rehabilitation of a multipurpose building (MPB) and construction of a community stage at the adjacent covered court.
DPWH Nueva Ecija 2nd District Engineer Elpidio Trinidad said a total of P3 million from the 2023 national budget was allocated for the improvement of the one-storey MPB and enhancement of the village covered court.
“It is our earnest desire to provide the public with safe and substantial facilities that offer an all-season venue for community-based activities and programs, as well as to facilitate a safe and temporary shelter for affected families during man-made and natural disasters,” Trinidad said.
“Improving the facilities at public venues offers a wide range of benefits not only to residents but also to the community as a whole, as it promotes community engagement, and fosters a sense of pride and identity among residents of the beneficiary barangay,” he emphasized.
Community-based infrastructure can significantly improve the lives of the locals by offering much-needed services and support in addressing challenges. (CLJD-PIA 3)
