A commercial retail center where the city most number of shopping malls in the province which offer employment opportunity to its people and neighboring areas.

The Springs, Falls and Mt. Apo considered as an assets of the city, because it invites local and foreign tourists which contributed to the employment opportunity in the area.

COVID 19 pandemic made me realized the value of life and time. Many people died due to said pandemic and time was being wasted because of lock down. Many people were became unproductive.

The pandemic makes our family relationship became more closer and concern to everyone's health is the most priority. The good thing brought by pandemic to us, was we were given enough time to develop our farm.

Professionally, at the height of lock down, aside from City Health and CSWDO, we, from PESO were also very busy in profiling affected workers, and submit the same to DOLE for TUPAD fund request up to the the implementation of TUPAD BKBK.

We were able to adopt the virtual meetings and also conducted the on-line job fair to somehow facilitate employment to our affected workers.

What I missed most was travelling both personal and official travel.
