Just last Monday, Lobregat turned over 6 projects amounting to over P6 million to the barangay of Pasonanca. The newly-constructed barangay hall, which also houses the barangay health center, was one of the projects turned over. The barangay hall is a replica of the City Hall.
Lobregat has vowed to continuously pursue the implementation of projects in the barangays with the overriding goal of improving services to the people. (Sheila Covarrubias)
