Also present were Velasco’s brother Paul Laus, LGC president, other officials and guests.
Velasco said their father had big dreams for Bataan not only because his first customer as a car dealer was from Bataan but because of the growth and progress he saw in the province every time he visited.
“We are truly grateful for the trust and confidence given by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. (MMPC). We are happy and a proud partner of Mitsubishi for more than four decades. We take pride in its strong performance and trademark leadership here in the Philippines,” she enthused.
