These government structures like schools are concomitant necessity to our progress and sustainability,” Fernandez said, who is the chairman of the committee on public works and infrastructure. 

Fernandez, in his proposed resolution, has asked Mayor Johnny delos Reyes “to approving our urgent injunction to Engr. Audie Bacasmas and his personnel to make ocular visits to our public structures.”

“After the approval of the Mayor, the Engineering personnel must act immediately and likewise will come to us for update of their inspection,” Fernandez said.  (FREEMAN)
