GERONA, Tarlac — The completion of the multipurpose building (MPB) in Barangay Malayep, Gerona by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Tarlac 1st District Engineering Office (DEO), has enhanced local governance and brought more efficient public service closer to the community.
District Engineer Neil Farala emphasized that the building now serves as a vital facility for effectively reaching out to residents and strengthening community engagement.
The 78-square-meter structure, built in compliance with Batas Pambansa (BP) Blg. 344, was completed ahead of schedule and is equipped with a kitchen, waiting area, conference room, comfort rooms, ramps, halls, and a designated office for the barangay captain.
