The groundbreaking was attended by officials in the province headed by Governor James Edduba, Tanudan leaders, and employees led by Mayor Jaedicke Rhoss Dagadag, the barangays, and national line agencies.

In his message, Vice Governor Jocel Baac called on municipal officials to monitor the construction to ensure a well-laid foundation and structure.

“Haan met nga diay pinang-istrikto nu di ket panangkita laeng nga ustu diay maaramid,” he explained, adding that the yTanudans had been waiting for years to have the facility in the municipality which is why it has to be constructed properly.

The vice governor vowed that the officialdom of Kalinga will continue to support the project by looking for more funding for the building’s completion saying, “i-commit mi nu adda mabalin nga kwarta iti probinsiya nu kaspagarigan malpas tu diay 40 million.”
