GdV inaugurates completed projects
FOURTH District Rep. Gina de Venecia, accompanied by her husband former Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., led the inauguration of her completed projects in Dagupan, Mangaldan, San Fabian, San Jacinto and Manaoag during her birthday last week.
First to be inaugurated on Friday was the six new classrooms of the East Central Elementary School in Barangay Mayombo.
Also present during the inauguration were Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez, City Schools Superintendent Alma Ruby Torio and other school officials.
De Venecia announced that she has also requested the Department of Education to build two more classrooms for the school.
In addition, she said eight more classrooms for the Judge Jose de Venecia Memorial High School in Barangay Bolosan were built, and the rehabilitation of the Caranglaan Elementary School has been completed.
“At dahil inspirado ako sa dedikasyon at talino ng ating mga teachers, isa sa mga batas na aking ipinaglalaban sa Kongreso ay ang House Bill 2142 – an act upgrading the minimum salary-grade of public school teachers, from salary-grade 11 to 15,” De Venecia said.
She is also lobbying for the approval of House Bill 4446, an ac t to provide Youth Suicide Intervention And Prevention.
The proposed law seeks to strengthen the guidance counseling program of public schools so that the children’s emotional and psychological needs can be better addressed.
At the same time, De Venecia said her family’s scholarship program currently has more than 350 beneficiaries from poor families.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Meanwhile, the lawmaker’s flood control projects, particularly in Dagupan, have already been completed and four major road and drainage projects are ongoing.
De Venecia also announced that her bill seeking the expansion and upgrading of the Region 1 Medical Center from 300 beds to 600 beds has already been passed by the House of Representatives and is now due for deliberation at the Senate.
The Region 1 Drug Rehabilitation Center, the last project of former Speaker de Venecia, is already operational since December.
