SAN LUIS, Pampanga – In line with the province’s disaster preparedness initiatives, the provincial government inaugurated the newly constructed covered court extension, community kitchen, and comfort rooms in this town on Friday, September 23.

Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda, alongside San Luis Mayor Jayson Sagum, Sangguniang Bayan Members, Barangay Captains, and PDRRM Chief Angelina Blanco, led the inauguration ceremony at the Emigdio Bondoc Gym.

Governor Pineda encouraged the residents of San Luis to cherish and ensure the functionality of these facilities, assuring continued efforts to undertake projects addressing the town’s needs during disasters.

“Itong project na ito na ibinigay po namin ni Vice Governor Nanay at ng mga Board Members niyo ay para in times of disaster may magamit po kayong evacuation center. Huwag po kayong mag-alala, anumang kailangan niyo dito sa bayan ng San Luis, open ho lagi ang Kapitolyo,” said the governor.

The construction of the facilities was worth Php 6.9 million, funded through the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC).

Blanco emphasized that the upgraded covered court aligns with the provincial government’s disaster programs.

“Yung trend ng San Luis at ibang town sa fourth district talagang binabaha sila. Hindi natin maanticipate ang taas ng baha. This can serve as a staging area and pick-up point kung sakaling dalhin natin sila sa permanent evacuation center natin sa Mexico,” she said.

Meanwhile, Mayor Sagum expressed gratitude to the provincial government for the project. He stressed that the facility would not only serve as a disaster response hub but also as a venue for their youth programs.

“Malaking tulong itong ibinigay ni Governor sa atin. Kumbaga nagpreprepare tayo in case of disaster. So, dahil multipurpose siya nagagamit din natin siya sa ibang activities like mga programs natin sa kabataan – volleyball and basketball tournaments,” said Mayor Sagum.
