Barangay leaders laud Capitol P205-M projects

APALIT -- Leaders from various villages in eight municipalities of Pampanga lauded the Provincial Government for spending at least P205 million on various projects.

"Ngayon lamang kami kay Nanay nakakarinig ng milyon-milyong piso pondo na ginagamit sa mga proyektong pinakikinabangan ng mga karaniwang Kapampangan di tulad ng dati," one of the barangay officials noted.

Governor Lilia Pineda, in a meeting with barangay chieftains, purok leaders and other officials, said the people from the fourth district of Pampanga were getting a just share from the funds of the Provincial Government through programs and projects carried within the first 30 months after she assumed office.

The Provincial Government funded the rehabilitation of San Luis District Hospital (SLDH) to cater the growing number of patients coming from the neighboring towns. Recently, SLDH extension building was constructed under the instruction of Pineda spending more than P9 million.

The Macabebe District Hospital, which is up for rehabilitation, was funded P15 million by the Capitol, with additional P10 million from the Department of Health (DOH).

The said hospital is now serving the needs of the people in the clustered towns of Macabebe, Masantol, Minalin, Apalit among others.

The Capitol likewise funded major infrastructure projects like construction of classroom buildings in different public schools and provincial, municipal access road including farm-to-market roads and covered courts.

The Capitol, in summary, spent P1.5 billion for various infrastructure projects throughout the province.
