MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur (PIA)--To further strengthen interventions for vulnerable individuals here in the province, the Provincial Government broke ground Thursday, Dec. 15, for the construction of a Social Welfare Center.
The building, once completed, will cater to the pressing needs and concerns of senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs).
Provincial Engineer Dimasira Macabando Jr. said the 500-square-meter structure would be erected in Barangay Sagonsongan in Marawi City with a total cost of P11 million under the Senior Citizen Fund.
"This will be very beneficial to our community. I hope that this project will be replicated by the municipalities in the province para tulong-tulong sa pagbibigay ng serbisyo sa ating mga kababayan," he said.
The Provincial Engineers Office will implement the construction while the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office will manage the facility when completed.
Aside from the Social Welfare Center, the provincial government is also set to build a Residential Care Facility for abused women and children near the Center. The ground ceremony for both projects was led by Vice Governor Mohammad Khalid Rakiin Adiong. (APB/PIA-10/Lanao del Sur)
