CITY OF SAN FERNANDO- To ensure uninterrupted communication between barangays and the Provincial Capitol during times of disaster, Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda and Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda distributed mobile phones and generator sets to officials of 21 coastal barangays in Pampanga.
These barangays were prioritized in the first batch of distribution as they are among the most remote areas and often face difficulties in accessing electricity and communication during calamities.
According to Vice Governor Delta, the Provincial Government provided these emergency disaster and monitoring equipment so that barangay halls can serve as charging stations whenever power supply is disrupted. This will allow officials to stay connected with the municipal or provincial government in case of emergencies or immediate rescue operations.
Each of the 21 barangays received one mobile phone with unlimited call, text, and data services, along with one generator set.
The distribution was also joined by Board Members Fritzie David Dizon, Dr. Kaye Naguit, Vince Clara, and Mymy Gonzales, Chief of Staff to the Vice Governor Angelina Blanco, and PDRRMO Chief Janica Yambao.
Through this initiative, the Provincial Government reaffirmed its commitment to disaster preparedness and to safeguarding the welfare of Pampanga’s communities.
