MABALACAT – The provincial government headed by Governor Lilia “Nanay” G. Pineda has allotted P17.5 million budget for the town’s various projects in health, infrastructure and solid waste management.
This developed as Governor Pineda, with Vice Governor Joseller “Yeng” Guiao and Dau Chairman Atlas Morales, led the groundbreaking ceremonies for the construction of Doña Maria Multi-purpose Hall in this town last Monday.
According to Pineda, the construction of the multi-purpose hall worth P3.5 million was made possible through the initiative of the members of the provincial board, especially board members Cris Garbo and Tars Halili, all headed by Vice Governor Guiao.
“Nung ali pu karela, ali tamu mirenan budget, anya pasalamat ku rin pu karela,” the governor stated.
Moreover, Governor Pineda plans to provide an office for the senior citizens of Mabalacat as well as the town’s health workers in the new multi-purpose hall.
Doña Maria Multi-purpose Hall will also serve as the venue for the provincial government’s future medical missions and minor operations, Pineda added.
In relation to this, the provincial government has also allocated P14 million for the Mabalacat District Hospital, the governor gladly shared.
The newly renovated district hospital will be provided with new medical and diagnostic equipment.
“Hindi na rin po problema ang mga gamot at espesyalista. Ang mga gamot lagi nang meron dahil may consignment na tayo sa mga suppliers at naghahanap na tayo ng magagaling na doktor para lalong maserbisyuhan ang mga may sakit,” Pineda declared.
Meanwhile, a 6-wheeler garbage truck will also be provided by the Capitol for the town’s solid waste management program through the initiative of Vice Governor Guiao. (Angelique DC. Tuazon, PIO Pampanga)
