PAGSASATUBUAN:Business establishments, especially those in the food and recreation services have responded to the call of City Mayor John Bongat to offer discounts to the youth participants and other upcoming guests because such hospitable gesture “will bring not only goodwill and good image to the city but will create a healthy and profitable business practice as well.”

PAGSASATUBUAN:Then on May 22-23, it will be the turn of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Regional Office No. 5 to welcome participants to their 2nd Regional Convention of Human Resource Management Practitioners at the Avenue Plaza Hotel.
