Sheila Covarrubias, city Information officer (IO) in a press statement said, “the wellness center is also a lying-in clinic and has other features that can adequately provide the needs of the constituents. In fact, during its inauguration, a healthy baby girl was born via normal delivery at the maternity room.”

The active lady IO said “the city government is also set to construct at the Tumaga Elementary School, a 2-storey 24-classroom building, one of the biggest school building projects in the city, this year to help in the education needs of the children in the barangay.”
She informed “for 2012, health and wellness centers will be constructed in barangays Pasonanca, Sangali, Ayala and Mariki. The operating room at Quiniput Hospital will also be constructed while the health centers of barangay Guiwan, Tetuan, Talon-talon, Putik, Culianan and Sibulao will undergo major reconstruction, expansion and improvement.” (JPA/SC/CIO/PIA- ZBST)
