[2] The drug rehabilitation facility's construction commenced in July 2016 but construction only went full swing after Health Secretary Paulyn Jean Ubial signed a deed of donation with Chinese billionaire and philanthropist Huang Rulun in a meeting in Beijing, China.

Huang previously met with President Rodrigo Duterte and talked about how could help deal with the illegal drugs problem in the Philippines.

[3] By October 12, 2016, the facility was stated to be 50 percent complete with the right wing of the building which can accommodate about 1,000 patients already ready to be furnished.

[4] President Rodrigo Duterte is scheduled to lead the inauguration or full opening rites of the facility at 2:00 p.m. (UTC+8) on November 29, 2016.

The DOH was scheduled to turn over the facility to the military once the number of admitted drug dependents is significantly reduced.

[9] In the same year, the center's therapeutic approach was modified after it adopted the standard introduced by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
