FIRST Rep. Paolo Duterte turned over a multipurpose building and evacuation center in Barangay 20-B Poblacion on March 8.
The lawmaker was represented by his son Rodrigo II, also known as Rigo, during the event, which also coincided with the 48th Araw ng Barangay.
Rigo, a namesake of his grandfather, hopes that the barangay will take care of the facility as they are the beneficiaries and can be a temporary shelter during emergencies.
Barangay 20-B chieftain Gina Murillo expressed gratitude to the lawmaker for the new facility, which was similar to the ones that Duterte provided the other barangays within his district.
“Sugod pa lang jud ni para karong tuiga sa daghang serbisyo. Nasayud mi nga atong congressman (Duterte) anaa dira para mangita ug paagi kung pa unsa matabangan pa niya ta’g samot, hilabi na sa mga nanginahanglan,” Murillo said.
Murillo said the facilities would be a center for various community services and events, including awareness drives, conferences, and other public greetings.
She added that the building would be a central fixture in the community and contribute to growth and development.
