THE National Housing Authority (NHA) turned over the P15-million initial fund for the construction of additional houses in Barangay Babo Pangulo in the town of Porac.
The fund was personally received by Governor Dennis "Delta" Pineda, Second District Board Member Fritzie David-Dizon, Special Assistant to the Governor Angelina Blanco, and Provincial Administrator lawyer Charlie Chua.
According to Rogie Pineda, officer-in-charge of the NHA-Pampanga, Bataan and Zambales District, the fund is just an initial payment of the P20-million total funds allocated by the agency for the housing project that aims to provide proper and durable shelter to indigenous people who lost their homes due to the earthquake in 2019.
About 40 housing units will be built with the fund, in addition to the 37 units previously built by the provincial government, led by Governor Pineda and Vice Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda.
