LOCAL officials of Magalang, led by Mayor Malu Paras Lacson, inaugurated the new town plaza on Wednesday, May 1.
The inauguration coincided with the 414th founding anniversary of the first-class municipality. It is located in front of the municipal hall, and costs P30 million.
“It’s the most beautiful town plaza in Pampanga,” said Lacson in her speech.
Lacson also credited the 27 barangay captains of Magalang for supporting the project. The funds came from the local development fund.
Lacson said the people of Magalang and their visitors “have something nice to see and experience.”
She said the new patio or town plaza is a representation of their forward-looking perspective in building up a better community for Magalang.
Vice Mayor Norman Lacson, for his part, said the construction of the town plaza which started last year was done above-board.
