CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Regional Office III held the One Region, One Product Fair at their office in Barangay Maimpis last Monday.
The Singkaban-inspired booth at the Central Office for the week-long fair started on Monday and will end on Friday as part of the agency’s 126th founding anniversary celebration.
