Treñas, on his part, also expressed his congratulations to Tang and MoLab Team under Blancaflor for a well-deserved recognition.

“I am very proud of the people I work with here in the City Government,” said the city mayor, who was also last year’s regional winner for the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award category.

Meanwhile, both Tang and Blancaflor thanked the city mayor for the support and guidance as well as for serving as role model in excellent public service.
