Mandaue City inaugurates legislative building

MANDAUE City officials yesterday inaugurated its  newly renovated  legislative building.

Some old features were retained like its  main door of solid wood, floor tiles and metal panels in the windows.

These were retained from the old building erected  in 1937, said City Administrator James Abadia.

In its  first session held at the renovated building, the council passed a resolution thanking Mayor Jonas Cortes for allocating funds for the repairs.

The renovation cost P2 million.

The resolution noted that the original Mandaue Presidencia or the Municipal Hall of Mandaue was inaugurated on Sept. 11-12, 1937.

A Mass officiated by Fr. Randy Nebria, priest of Saint Joseph parish, followed the inauguration  at 2 p.m. yesterday.

Abadia said the Mandaue City government still plans to purchase a new sound system for the legislative hall. Reporter Jucell Marie P. Cuyos
