Bambang, Makati City eyes business, agri ties

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya—One of this province’s premier towns and Makati City , the country’s business center, are now exploring extended economic ties through a sisterhood agreement between the two local government units.

Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, during a visit here, said that exploratory talks leading to sisterhood ties between his city and Bambang town, this province’s prime agricultural depot, were now in the works. Binay was in town also as part of his mission as the national president of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines.

With sisterhood ties, Bambang town led by Mayor Benjamin Cuaresma III would expand further its business links nationally and globally through Makati City , the heart of the nation’s financial district, which, in return, would benefit more from the agricultural outputs, expertise and other related concerns of the province, also the region’s vegetable and citrus capital.

"We intend to start at once in drafting a resolution for this sisterhood undertaking," Binay said.

For her part, Governor Luisa LLoren Cuaresma said that the sisterhood agreement "is something which will be a great boon for Nueva Vizcaya, especially the people of Bambang."

Aside from agriculture and business, the Bambang-Makati sisterhood pact, she said, will also cover cultural, educational and social ties as well as programs to promote tourism for the province. CCL
