CALBAYOG CITY –
Samar First District Engineering Office completed ten (10)
Multi-Purpose Buildings (MPB) in different barangays within the
First District of Samar with a total appropriation of 39 million
under the General Appropriations Act of 2019.
Completed MPBs are located
in Calbayog City at Barangays Bagacay, Hamorawon, San Joaquin, San
Rufino, and Rawis. Another completed MPBs are situated in Barangay
Villahermosa Oriental in Pagsanghan, Samar as well as Barangays
Poblacion C and Tigdaranao, Tarangnan, Samar. MPBs are also finished
at Barangay Hinugacan in Gandara, Samar and Barangay Aurora, San
Jorge, Samar.
They are primarily used
for hosting events in the barangay, meetings, seminars and can also
be used as evacuation centers during emergencies.
The Legislative Building
at Poblacion C will house the Sangguniang Members of the
Municipality of Tarangnan. It will serve as a place for where the
members can formulate municipal orders and decrees that will be
beneficial to the development of Tarangnan and its people.
Moreover, the MPB at
Barangay San Joaquin is a flourishing coastal village with over
6,000 residents. Based on interview with residents, the MPB will be
utilized as barangay council office and venue for community-based
programs such as livelihood seminars and day care. The MPB is easily
accessible and PWD friendly.
