He said it is important nowadays to be on online trends in every business involvement in order to be updated and be able to easily access the needs of the sectors and community.
“We are all in one route to economic recovery but we need strong internal control here and we’ll also use now online trends and websites or any apps, using them for a good purpose, easy access, and transparency. Importante ang information representation, mas madali ang communication. Palalakasin din natin ang partnership with LGU for beneficial programs for the local businesses here and to the local community as well,” he told Palawan News.
