Test drive

Vice Mayor Alvin D. Fernandez (right) test drives the city government’s new state-of-the-art dredging machine, IMS Model 5012 Versi-Dredge, which arrived from the United States last July 12. Beside him is American Michael Young, who was sent by the company to train City Engineer’s Office personnel who will operate the dredger. Before its initial voyage, the dredger was blessed by Fr. Rojohn Ramirez.
