The other art piece called “Hand-in-Hand in Enlightenment and Prosperity” was installed at the HTREX building, which presents the Filipino Bayanihan spirit.

This reminds us that anything is possible, that we are the builder of our hopes, dreams, and tomorrow, ” said GM Escalada in his speech read by AGM Balba.
