Congressman Garcia said 150 units of franchised vehicles for the Transport Network Vehicles Service (TNVS) will soon become part of Bataan transport system. Charging stations and solar panels will be established in strategic points of the province.

“So magiging halos libre na po ang transport system natin at napakalaking oportunidad ito sa ating mga negosyante dahil magiging madali na ang mobility,” Abet explained.

He likewise revealed that President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. signed the document for the provision of 1,000 beds for the Bataan Provincial Hospital and Medical Center (BGHMC).
