Negros Occidental acting governor Jeffrey Ferrer, along with Bago City officials, led by Mayor Nicholas Yulo and Vice Mayor Ramon Torres, graced the turnover of a P5-million Ferrer Multipurpose Building at the Bago City College this morning, Aug. 7.
The facility was donated to the city government-run college, through Ferrer and his wife, 4th District Rep. Juliet Marie Ferrer.
“Congresswoman Juliet and me as vice governor continue to facilitate the development of an area through (the establishment of) facilities. For as long as there’s an available fund, Fourth District will be taken care of, especially in terms of education,” the acting governor said in a city press release. “I hope this building provides a venue for the education of the students in this school.”
College administrator and president, Deborah Natalia Singson, who was also at the turnover, said the building will serve as an extension of the Matti Library, specifically as a reading room.
Yulo thanked the acting governor and Ferrer for the support they extended to the college, as he called on Bagonhons to continue to unite for the good of everyone, and for the progress of the city.
Torres, meanwhile, is upbeat that the facility will further contribute to the development of the students.
Also present during the turnover rites were 4th District Board Member Andrew Martin Torres, engineers Vic Harde Dela Cruz and Nelson Dennis Trillanes from the Department of Public Works and Highways, councilors Ma. Josefa Matti, Jake Patrick Torres, Carlos Mondia, Ma. Femmy Alvarez-Martir and Joseph Colmenares, ABC president Jovito Gahaton, executive assistants Jom Somcio and Jorge Araneta, punong barangays Michael Bermudez of Abuanan, Remy Jalea of Binubuhan, Asahel Gayatin of Balingasag, and Delia Teovisio of Taloc, and Bago City College faculty, staff, and students, among others. ||
