The Metro Infanta Foundation is proceeding in earnest with our Gabaldon Building Project to be completed in time for the school year 2011-2012.

In addition, a Fund Campaign Committee in Infanta is also being formed from the private sector..
The following have been proposed to serve on the Gabaldon Building Committee:
1) Engr. Dading Arizala

This news was very well received by the leaders of Friends of Infanta. It's showing that the people of Infanta are taking ownership of this project, and not just waiting for dole outs from afar. Now, we only need to hear from the expatriates in the United States, Canada, Japan, United Kingdom, Australia and others. to date we've only heard from those in the Middle East. Let's hope that the others will follow their lead.
