The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed the construction of a multi-purpose building (MPB) that now serves as a new Bagsakan Center for local products in the Municipality of Dipaculao, Aurora Province.
DPWH Regional Office 3 Director Roseller A. Tolentino, in his report to DPWH Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, said that the one (1)-storey, 800-square-meter MPB constructed in Barangay Lipit now caters to the needs of the local agricultural community by providing farmers and vendors a trading hub for fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural produce.
According to Director Tolentino, the Bagsakan Center is equipped with designated loading and unloading areas along with ample storage space as well as 32 indoor and outdoor solar lights for sufficient and sustainable lighting.
Director Tolentino added that provision of a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera and amplified sound systems, as well as a standby generator were also included in the MBP project to enhance security and ensure convenience for all users.
Implemented by the DPWH Aurora District Engineering Office (DEO), the Bagsakan Center was completed in the amount of P19.6 million with funding sourced from the General Appropriations Act (GAA) of 2022.
