In their appreciation for trusting to invest in Bataan, Gov Garcia and Mayor Tagle expressed gratitude to Chairman Froa and his Japanese funders. The Grun architekten which has also a local office in Metro Manila is now on the process of securing permits and documentation of its projects.
“Just imagine, we were the ones who needed their assistance and yet they ( DOE personnel) were the ones who provided us free snacks and necessary informations needed by our firm to successfully implement our power plant projects,” said Chairman Froa.
Chairman Froa added that once they have completed the permits and other required documents “we can then immediately start the ball rolling as we and our Japanese funders are also in a hurry to implement these projects that could generate income and employment to the Filipino people.”
