Atty. Faurillo, the Vice President for Administration and Finance, delivered his message of support and prompted a challenge to the GAD Office to continue to initiate programs and projects that will deliver tangible results.
Dr. Roda N. Imperial, the president of Zonta Club of Naga and Camarines Sur and the invited speaker for the said event, discussed women’s health focusing on pregnancy, birth control, and menopause.
