“I am reminding everybody that as stated in the contract, we are committed to overseeing the projects to make sure that the infrastructures meet the quality standards and the time frame allocated for each project,” he said.
One the other hand, Sambitory Dimaporo, representative of Unayan Builders and Construction Supply, said “Let us be united in supporting the BARMM and MPW in accomplishing these projects awarded to us.”
