Aris brgy bldg spree now worth over P161M
By JUNE S. BLANCO A TOTAL of 230 out of 346 barangays in Bohol’s 2nd District are now building barangay halls, expanding or adding rooms to existing ones or building multipurpose buildings that also serve as evacuation centers in case of calamities.

He cited the barangay hall and covered court of Sto, Niño, Inabanga now under construction costing P850,000 and P2 million respectively.

He explained that while scientists have said an earthquake of such magnitude strikes only once in around 100 years, Bohol cannot discount the probability of, God forbid, floods, typhoons, fires and other calamities. This prompted him to pursue the construction of multipurpose buildings with rain collectors. The rain collectors can provide water especially in islands. The stored water buttresses the supply from artesian and deepwells, or even... read morePagbisita ni Duterte sa Vietnam, nagmabungahon
