Rizal Provincial Gov. Nina Ynares lauded the cities for making Rizal a business-friendly province that could open new opportunities for the local economy.

In the meantime, Antipolo Mayor Jun Ynares celebrated the win while noting that the city won the award fair and square as it also emphasizes the trust their constituents give them in governing Rizal.

According to Architect Feleno “Jun” A. Palafox, Jr., this year’s Chairman of the 49th PBC&E, the conference gathered thought leaders, policymakers, national and LGU executives, top business leaders, and international leaders for an interesting two-day discussion and sharing of insights geared toward achieving the 2050 vision of turning the Philippines into a world-class economy.
