Mayor Roquito G. Tacsagon and Tubungan Municipal Enterprise Office head Marlyn Tagudar received the citation during the 45th Philippine Business Conference and Expo held at the Fiesta Pavilion of the Manila Hotel on Oct 16, 2019.

Tagudar is also the town’s designated Business Permit and Licensing Officer and Local Economic and Investment Promotion Officer.

Besting other three LGU finalists, Tubungan was cited for consistently supporting the promotion and development of micro, small and medium scale enterprises significantly benefiting the town’s business community and citizenry.
