"Ito pong pag-inaugurate natin sa Balay Silangan ay patunay na ang pamahalaan natin ay merong puso na nagbibigay ng isa pang pagkakataon para sa ating drug personalities para magbago. Meron tayong kamay na kumakalinga sa kanila".

This was the message of DILG Assistant Regional Director Jay E. Timbreza during the ribbon cutting and turn-over ceremony of the completed Reformation Center in the Municipality of San Simon called as Balay Silangan on October 8, 2018, which will house drug surrenders from the town and prepare them to become productive citizens through rehabilitation and livelihood training.

The two-storey building is the product of the municipality's excellent service and good governance practices, with its construction made possible with the help of the Php 3 million cash incentive that the LGU received as an SGLG awardee in 2016. The municipality also clinched the prestigious award this year.

Also in attendance at the event was Hon. Mayor Leonora C. Wong, DILG Pampanga Provincial Director Myrvi Fabia, PNP PD Nicolas Salvador, PDEA RD Gil T. Pabilona, PDEA Deputy Dir. Gen. for Administration Col. Ricardo S. Santiago, MPS San Simon PCInsp Louie DC Gonzaga, punong barangays, local officials, reformists and representatives from various sectors.
