LINGAYEN, Pangasinan—Gov. Amado I. Espino III has formally signed and received from the Cabiles family the deed of donation for a two-hectare lot where a drug rehabilitation center will be built.
Former Burgos town Vice Mayor Belen Cabiles and her son, lawyer Aldrin Cabiles, signed the deed in a simple ceremony at the Office of the Governor in the Provincial Capitol.
Through Provincial Resolution No. 275-2016 approved by the provincial board last November, the lot will be used for the rehabilitation center “in order to cater to and respond to the needs of those who are to undergo treatment and change their old ways of drug dependency, to being drug free and go back to the normal society.”
Espino said the project, which was long overdue, will finally be realized after two decades, and thanked the Cabiles family for their generosity.
Signing the deed as witnesses were Vice Governor Jose Ferdinand Z. Calimlim, Jr. and Burgos Mayor Alberto P. Guiang, Jr.
