Arayat – Pampanga Governor Lilia “Nanay Baby” Pineda gave her early Christmas gifts for the 64 families who were last year’s landslide victims during typhoon Ondoy in Barangay San Juan Bano, Arayat as she led the turnover of the bunkhouses on December 15, 2010.
The construction of the bunkhouses was made possible through the joint efforts of all the officials in the province. Pineda said that the construction of the bunkhouses was funded by the provincial government while Third District Representative Aurelio “Dong” Gonzales, Jr. purchased the lot for the victims.
Congressman Dong Gonzales wasn’t able to grace the event because of his prior commitments but he sent his Chief of Staff to relay his message to the people, assuring the victims of his continuing support until they fully recover from the tragedy.
On the other hand, it can be recalled that the governor led the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of the bunkhouses last September 26, and after more than two months of construction they are now ready for occupancy.
More than Php5.7 million of provincial government funds were used in building the said bunkhouses while the office of Gonzales spent Php1.5 million for the lot.
