IBA, ZAMBALES, Philippines – Governor Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. personally visited and inspected the province’s major infrastructure projects on Apr. 29 to ensure that they are on the right track and each meets high quality standard.

Gov. Ebdane was joined in the inspection by Provincial Consultant for Infrastructure and Development Engr. Domingo Mariano, Executive Assistant to the Governor Ms. Larraine B. Rico, and other provincial engineers.

The group also inspected the newly constructed Temporary Relocation Building (TRB), which will serve as temporary provincial offices while the new Provincial Capitol Building is under construction.

Once the new Provincial Capitol is completed, the TRB building will become the new office of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) and some offices of the Provincial Engineer’s Office (PEO). Ebdane highlighted plans to revitalize the old Provincial Capitol building which is being eyed to become a central venue for provincial events and activities, preserving its historical value while giving it a renewed purpose.

The governor noted that regular inspections are part of efforts to ensure infrastructure projects are completed on time, within budget and in accordance with quality standards ensuring that every peso of taxpayers’ money is spent wisely on projects that directly benefit residents.
