We are not simply painting these places. They will be painted to create “aesthetics” that are significant to the city, reflect the city and the citizens’ character, as well as show the city’s care for the environment, the government said.
I am reading a lot of improvement in different cities in the Philippines. Good to know there is enough funds for the projects.
