"Kalooy sa Diyos sa atubangan ni Engr. Jun Balo, nakaatubang ta kang Sec. Villar and I have to tell our people, especially Opol to Lugait area, nga nag-commit na si Sec. Villar nga iyang matabangan ta pagsemento anang Mowdir. Initially, P2 billion ang iyang ihatag," Emano said.
Meanwhile, the Provincial Government has turned over plastic armchairs for public schools in Opol and Medina towns.
The armchairs made of recycled plastic materials from the different towns in the province were manufactured through the Villar Sipag Foundation.
The "plastic waste to armchair project" aims to reduce plastic wastes and turned them into something useful for children in schools.
