We are grateful for the tremendous assistance provided by the government and we promise that we will do our best to grow our business so that government assistance is not wasted. Likewise, we will be part of intensifying the campaign against insurgency”, Ka Berting said as one of the FRs who benefitted the Negosyo Kit.
