Others though preferred pampering with a team of TESDA (Technical Education Skills and Development Authority) trained masseurs, manicurists and hairstylists from Sta Rita town who offered their services free of charge.
Primo Regis, TESDA’s assistant provincial director, said that the Sta Rita team enjoys joining the Army’s Barangayan Serbisyo Caravan as they are able to fulfill the dreams of their fellowmen, to be pampered for free.
