An essential improvement for everyday market-goers was formally opened today as the newly constructed restroom at the Luna Public Market, turned over by the Provincial Government of La Union, was inaugurated on October 8, 2026, adding to the efforts to provide cleaner, safer, and more accessible public facilities.
The inauguration was graced by Provincial Governor Mario Eduardo C. Ortega, together with Sangguniang Panlalawigan Board Member Aaron Kyle M. Pinzon and Board Member Gerard G. Ostrea, alongside local officials and stakeholders.
In his message, Governor Mario emphasized the Provincial Government of La Unionโs continuing commitment to valuing every Luna Bannuar and bringing projects that respond to the needs of the municipality. He likewise called on the community to take care of the newly inaugurated facility, underscoring that public infrastructure is a shared responsibility and its sustainability depends on the people who use it.
Mayor Gary N. Pinzon welcomed the project as another concrete addition to the municipalityโs public facilities, reflecting the importance of providing dignified and functional spaces for residents, vendors, farmers, and visitors who frequent the Luna Public Market.
The facility features separate areas for men and women, a lactating and changing room, and a PWD-friendly space, ensuring that the needs of different users are accommodated. It is also fully air-conditioned and equipped with a solar power system, making the facility more energy-efficient while providing a cooler and more comfortable environment.
The project supports Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, particularly the promotion of adequate sanitation facilities, while also contributing to SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities by helping create more inclusive, safe, resilient, and accessible public spaces.
