The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Palawan 2nd District Engineering Office has successfully completed the construction of a Multi-Purpose Building in Barangay Antipuluan, Municipality of Narra, Palawan — a project designed to strengthen local governance and enhance the delivery of government services to the community.
According to Palawan 2nd District Engineer Noel L. Fuentebella, in his report to DPWH MIMAROPA Regional Director Gerald A. Pacanan, CESO III, the project involved the construction of a 10.00m x 20.00m two-storey structure with a 3.00m x 5.00m entrance porch. The building includes a multi-purpose hall, two offices, a records office, stock room, toilets, two living quarters, and a three-chamber septic vault.
To promote sustainability and energy efficiency, the facility is equipped with two solar-powered post lights, providing illumination for evening community activities while helping reduce electricity consumption.
The newly completed structure serves as a vital infrastructure asset for Barangay Antipuluan, offering a safe, functional, and accessible venue for administrative operations, civic gatherings, and government-related services. Its modern design and eco-friendly features demonstrate DPWH’s commitment to building resilient, sustainable, and people-centered infrastructure that supports efficient local governance and improves the quality of community life.
Regional Director Gerald A. Pacanan emphasized that the completion of this project reflects DPWH’s continued dedication to ensuring that public infrastructure directly benefits local communities by promoting accessibility, safety, and better service delivery.
By providing a facility that caters to both administrative functions and community needs, the project contributes to Narra’s growth and development — a tangible step toward more responsive and inclusive public service in Palawan.
