Mayor Nonato Abrenica said that it was the full trust of his townmates and their transparency in spending the money raised from conducting the yearly search for Miss Villasis  that paved the way for the construction of a new town hall building.


The structure, which cost P13 million to build has a floor area of 1,700 square meters.
