In a significant boost to local education infrastructure, Vice Governor Dennis Pineda spearheaded the inauguration and official turnover of a state-of-the-art two-storey school building at Lourdes Elementary School in Minalin town on Thursday. The project, valued at P11.4 million, was fully funded and constructed by the provincial government of Pampanga, marking a pivotal investment in the region's academic future.
