May 05, 2021 THE vision to construct a community hospital in San Simon town is finally a step closer after Mayor Abundio Punsalan Jr. was able to source funds for its construction. Punsalan said the local government has a savings of P20 million from years 2019 and 2020, which can be used for the construction of the community hospital and a central power house. On Tuesday, May 4, the mayor asked for a Municipal Council special session to tackle and approve the ordinance authorizing a supplemental budget for the said projects. The special session, however, did not push through due to lack of quorum as only six of the councilors were present.
