CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – For
the past 30 months of Gov.
Lilia Pineda's administration,
the provincial government
had spent P222,073,702 for
infrastructure projects in eight towns of the Fourth District. Based
on the data obtained
from the provincial
engineering office (PEO) since
2010 the present
administration constructed
roads, bridges, hospitals, buildings, classrooms, covered
courts, barangay halls,
drainage and slope
protections. There are 136 total projects
built in the said district.
Candaba got 44 infrastructures
amounting to P44 million;
Apalit had 22 projects (P23.7
million); 18 constructed in Macabebe (P37.4 million),
Sto.Tomas cornered 14
projects (P51.9 million); Minalin
was given 13 infrastructures
(P22.6 million); San Luis had 10
(P26.4 million); San Simon was awarded 10 projects (P11.9
million); and, seven projects
were constructed in Masantol
(P4.1 million). Fourth District Board Member
Nestor Tolentino said the
Sangguniang Bayan approved
the budget for the
construction of these
infrastructure projects after Gov. Pineda personally visited
the areas and had seen the
need for the projects. "Before asking for budget,
Gov. Pineda makes sure that
the board members will
personally see the necessity of
the project. She always
consults us before the execution," Tolentino said. The board member stressed
that the good working
relationship between the
executive and legislative body
played the pivotal role in the
success of the programs and projects implemented by the
provincial government. "The relationship between the
provincial board and the
governor is harmonious and
professional at the same
time," he said. Barangay Captain Lazaro Delos
Santos of Lanang, Candaba
said they are fortunate to
receive huge amount of
projects in less than three
years. "Gov. Pineda has listened to
our predicaments and acted on
them. Our district and the
whole province benefitted
much from her administration
and we believe we will receive more if she will stay
as the governor," he said.
