Pinanday at nagtanghal sa PLV-Dance Company, VCCPA, Gantimpala Theater, Jstar, etc... it definitely takes passion and commitment to bag this win. Valenzuela City is proud of you.

Anneonghaseyo! There's a fancy new store to satisfy your cravings for Korean food. Won Mart is along MacArthur Highway, Marulas. Malapit sa Coal Spot, katapat ng Mercury Drug-Fatima.
