Mr. Pedro C. Tario, CREBA past president will lead the charging ceremonies. The event will also serve as the launching of the Chapter’s Business Exchange Listing and Linkages project, also known as “BELL.”

Founded in 2002, the CREBA Laguna chapter has been undertaking socio-civic activities to help the local communities. Last December 2009, CREBA, through the chapter, spearheaded a relief operation in partnership with the Lions Club for Ondoy-Peping victims in Laguna Bay.
