Tan invited Abalos to the ceremony attended by provincial and municipal government officials, including representatives from different government agencies, the police and military and education officials.
The state-of-the-art, two-storey library was designed by Manila-based Architect Alfred Caritavo and Engineer Henry William Nihevas, according to Tan. “Kinuha namin sila sa Maynila at dinala dito sa Sulu upang gawin ang state-of-the-art library. The last time that we had a public library was in 1974, that was about five decades ago,” he told Abalos.
The library, funded and built by the provincial government, is also equipped with over four dozen iMAC or Apple desktop computers and fast Internet connection and modern furniture, according to Provincial Engineer Abdurasad Baih.
“Maganda talaga itong library natin dahil modern ang design, kumpleto sa mga kagamitan, pati iMac desktop (computers) and Internet connection. Iyan ang gusto ni Governor Tan, yun modern library para sa ating mga estudyante. Si Governor is really pushing for his literary program. Marami na rin schools na ipinatayo si Governor at talagang edukasyon ang gusto niya para sa mga Tausug,” he told The Mindanao Examiner by phone from Jolo.
On Tuesday, May 23, Tan also inaugurated the Sulu Police Provincial Pastoral Office in Jolo. The building was also funded by Tan, according to Col. Narciso Paragas, the provincial police chief. “Hindi ito mangyayari kung hindi dahil sa tulong ni Governor Tan,” he said. (Mindanao Examiner)
