ILOILO City – Mayor Jose Espinosa has poured hundreds of millions of pesos worth of infrastructure projects to various barangays in the metropolis for the convenience of his constituents.
The projects improved the people’s living conditions particularly the poor through better health, public safety and easy access to services.
