Senator Allan Peter Cayetano yesterday urged Bacoleños to show investors that it is time to invest in Bacolod.
Cayetano, who was guest speaker during the 76th Charter Day celebration at the Bacolod Public Plaza, at the same time congratulated Bacoleños for the gains made by the city.
Noting that wrong choices had been made in the past, Cayetano said how the country moves forward depends on the people.

Three Bacolodnons were given special awards by the Bacolod City Government during the 76th Charter Day celebration of Bacolod City at the Bacolod Public Plaza last night.
Mary Jean Trebol and Jorge Lim were conferred the Ang Banwahanon Award, while Bacolod Real Estate Development Authority president Simplicio Palanca was the first recipient of the Buklod Awards.
Palanca was chosen as the first recipient of the Buklod Awards, that is named in honor of the original word where the name of Bacolod City was derived, because of his visionary achievement in the realization of his dreams to build the Bacolod Reclamation port project that took more than years to construct.
