Santiago City—The Department of Public Works and Highways-Isabela Fourth District Engineering Office is constructing four multi-purpose halls in different towns within its jurisdiction, District Engineer Edmund B. de Luna reported.
“Each multi-purpose building can house about 500 people during events. This is contributory in realizing social development among the residents of the recipient barangays. Also, outreach programs and medical missions may also be conducted here, thus bringing the government services closer to the people,” De Luna emphasized.
The first building, in the municipality of Cordon, costs P20.69 million, the district engineer said. The one in Barangay Palagao, Jones town is worth P9.4 million; the structure at Rosario High School in Barangay Rosario, Santiago City costs P1.96 million; and the hall in Barangay Masaya Centro, San Agustin costs P1.4 million, and already 90.6 percent finished, DPWH said.
The four multi-purpose building projects were started in the second quarter this year and are expected to be completed by December. All projects were funded under the DPWH 2019 Regular Infrastructure Program, De Luna disclosed.
