By Connie Calipay

LEGAZPI CITY --- The upcoming P110-million buildings at the Commission on Audit (COA) regional office aim to enhance the delivery of government services.

With support from the Ako Bicol Party List (AKB) and funding from the General Appropriations Act of 2024, the project reflects the infrastructure plans of the Marcos administration.

AKB Rep. Elizaldy Co expressed gratitude for the backing of President Marcos Jr. and Speaker Martin Romualdez, emphasizing the unique support shown to the Bicolanos.

The construction includes a three-storey, 1,488.24 sq.m building, expected to be completed this year, and rehabilitation efforts for various facilities like the COA training center, covered court, director’s quarter, and a multi-purpose building.

Notable attendees at the ground-breaking ceremony included AKB Rep. Raul Angelo Bongalon, AKB Executive Director Alfredo Garbin, and COA officials Alexander B. Juliano and Lorna D. Cabochan.
