Mayor Raymund Tongson hopes that more national government projects will be brought to Himamaylan City after Senator Christopher “Bong” Go’s visit on Saturday, March 23.
Go led the inspection of the Super Health Center in Brgy. Talaban, which is now at 77 percent completion.
The senator also joined Tongson and local city officials in the inauguration and blessing of the Talaban Bridge, the funding of which was facilitated by Go who sits as the vice chair for the Senate Committee on Finance.
“Senator Bong Go saw the active efforts of the local government to ensure quality public service for Himamaylanons. I am glad of his assurance that he will continue to lobby for more projects for us and the province,” Tongson said.
Go, accompanied by actor Philip Salvador, also met with the 500 beneficiaries of the Department of Labor and Employment’s TUPAD program during their orientation at the Himamaylan City Hall.
Tongson thanked Go for his visit and help for Himamaylan.
The senator, who is the chair of the Senate Committee on Health, said in his speech that there will be 31 Super Health Centers that will rise in Negros Occidental in the next three years.
Himamaylan City will become the site of two of these centers in the province.*
