Docomo Pacific and IT&E, for their part, offered affordable student packages while Megabyte and PC Outlet showcased their laptops.
Participating government agencies included the Women Infants and Children program, the Nutrition Assistance Program and the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs’ Child Care Assistance program.
Student organizations had the opportunity to recruit new members.

ASNMC is accepting applications for the election of new officers in September.
NMC said the Office of the Student Activities and Leadership has planned a week of activities for the students, including campus tours, ASNMC Become a Leader Campaign, Video Game tournaments and student orientations.
Tenorio said they plan to engage the students throughout the semester by hosting a number of events that can elevate their curricular and community involvement.
