Mayor Belen Fernandez, along with City Engineer Officer-in-Charge Josephine Corpuz, makes an early morning inspection on the progress of the road elevation and upgrading of drainage system project of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Region 1, particularly along the commercial district of Arellano St. in barangay Pantal going to the downtown area on January 3. The mayor informed business owners affected by the project that they can experience some leeway on their operations until construction works resume this January 6 after the workers’ holiday break. The local chief executive had previously requested the DPWH to fast track the project which is part of the flood mitigation program of the city.
