Aside from the multi-purpose buildings, Ramos stated that they also completed the construction of a flood control structure in Bangut River in Capas, Tarlac that will protect local residents and agricultural properties from heavy flooding especially during extreme rains of long duration.
“This flood mitigation structure will keep residents safe and allow the continuity of all economic and social activities even during the rainy season,’’ Ramos continued.
