ZUBIRI TURNS OVER SCHOOL BUILDING IN LA UNION
UNDER HIS ONE TOWN, ONE PROJECT PROGRAM

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri today turned over a two storey school building named Ceferino Abad Aquino Sr. Memorial Building in San Juan National High School in La Union. The P8-M project is a joint undertaking by the LGUs and the One Town, One Project of Senator Zubiri.

In his message before local officials, teachers and students during the ceremony, Zubiri emphasized the importance of having a conducive place for learning to encourage more and more students to pursue their studies and fulfil their dreams.

One Town, One Project was launched in 2007 to fulfil a promise to provide nationwide assistance through Senator Zubiri's Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). To date, the Zubiri project has extended assistance ranging from multi purpose buildings, barangay centers, internet centers to classroom rehabilitation and repairs to 49 provinces in the country.

In La Union alone, the following municipalities benefited from One Town, One Project amounting to P17.5 million with each municipality receiving P500-thousand peso assistance for various infrastructure programs: Bacnotan, Balaoan, Bangar, Luna, San Gabriel, Santol, Supiden, Agoo, Aringay, Bagulin, Bauang, Burgos, Caba, Naguilian, Pugo, Rosario, Santo Tomas, Tubao and San Fernando City.

"One Town, One Project is not just a campaign slogan but a promise I keep dearly close to my heart since I started my public service career not too long ago. I am humbled by your support and friendship. Let us continue to work together and work harder to help steer our country to progress," Zubiri said.

Local officials led by Rep. Victor Ortega, Governor Manuel Ortega, Mayor Ruben Valero, teachers and students of San Juan public school welcomed Zubiri during his visit.
