MANILA, Philippines — Napili ng San Miguel Corporation ang 115 na engineering graduates mula sa iba’t ibang unibersidad sa bansa para sumailalim sa training para sa commercial operations ng Mass Rail Transit (MRT-7) project sa 2025.

I am confident they will not only shine but also redefine standards,” wika ni Ang.
