Abra Congressman Luis Bersamin, Jr. (3rd from left, with lei) appreciates the strong flow of drinking water from the newly-completed water supply system which he inaugurated recently. The new water system was supported with a P5 million priority development assistance fund of the congressman while the program of work and project implementation was prepared by the Local Water Utilities Administration.
