AQUINO DONATES BUILDING TO DRUG REHAB PATIENTS

SAN FERNANDO -- The City Government, through the efforts of Mayor Rey B. 
Aquino, donated a one-story building to the Central Luzon Drug 
Rehabilitation Center (CLDRC) in Magalang town.

Aquino on Monday morning led the groundbreaking ceremony at the CLDRC 
compound in Barangay Sto. Nino in Magalang.

CLDRC Executive Director Sr. Supt. Conrado Goco Briton, second highest 
official of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Central Luzon, 
personally awarded Aquino a plaque of appreciation shortly after the 
flag-hoisting ceremony.

Police Insp. Dindo Laguda shared among the guests a brief history of how 
CLDRC came to be. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between CLDRC and the 
city government was signed to eventually formalize the event.

As a creative gesture of gratitude, CLDRC patients performed a short song 
interpretation dance.

Aquino later made a courtesy call to Magalang Mayor Pastor Guiao at the 
town municipal hall.
