In deep appreciation of recently obtained distinctions, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau Employees Association (MGBEA) Caraga Chapter held its thanksgiving dubbed Handog Pasasalamat on September 7, 2015 at the MGB Training Center in Surigao City.

Consuegra, MGBEA Caraga Chapter President, delivered a message of appreciation. “Let us all take pride in our accomplishments. May we continue to improve on the quality of work and service we render to our bureau, colleagues and clients without any condition, need for recognition and personal gain. As we put our hearts and minds into the pursuit of our goals and put God at the center of our lives, let us constantly aspire to enhance our outlook on life, strengthen our ties and evolve into better persons,” stated Ms. Consuegra.
In their inspirational messages, Engr. Daniel S. Belderol, Officer-In-Charge of the Mine Management Division, and Mr. Romeo M.
