The Philippines’ Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has announced the completion of the La Union Convention Center project in San Fernando City.
The three-storey multipurpose building, located in the barangay Sevilla, spans a total floor area of 2,000m².
Constructed for 280m pesos ($5.01m), the centre has been handed over to the local government of San Fernando City.
It features an architectural design influenced by La Union’s surfing destination and can host up to 1,500 individuals for various events, exhibits, and government programmes.
DPWH Region I director Ronnel Tan conveyed the project’s completion to the DPWH’s secretary Manuel Bonoan, highlighting its potential to enhance the sociocultural facilities of the area.
Bonoan said: “The La Union Convention Center is anticipated to not only serve as a hub for various gatherings but also contribute to the region’s economic growth by attracting out-of-town visitors to attend conventions, meetings, seminars, and trade shows.”
