TACLOBAN CITY – The Department of Public Works and Highways-Tacloban City District Engineering Office (DPWH-TCDEO) transforms the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Regional Office VIII, Annex Building with a fresh new look and a reinforced structure, completing its rehabilitation on November 29, 2024.
The project, located in Brangay 25, Kanhuraw Hill, Tacloban City, was funded under the 2024 General Appropriations Act with a total contract amount of P1.4 million. The said rehabilitation was necessary due to the aging condition of the building, which houses key offices, including the Office of the Legal, Commission on Audit (COA), Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces (CMGP), Gender and Development (GAD), and the Child Minding facility.
The scope of work included applying new exterior and interior paint, replacing dilapidated flashing, gutters, and portions of the roof, and refurbishing ceilings and lighting fixtures. Additionally, a sliding glass door with a fixed window was installed in the child-minding area, and new paint was applied to the roof and railings.
District Engineer Rebecca G. Yuse highlighted the importance of the project in maintaining government infrastructure. “The rehabilitation of the DILG Regional Office Annex Building ensures a safer and more functional space for government employees and the public. This project reflects our commitment to preserve essential public facilities,” she said.
