Bataan celebrates 120th Independence Day amid heavy rains

CAPITOL COMPOUND – The heavy rains brought by TS Domeng, did not hinder the Provincial Government of Bataan from celebrating the country’s 120^th Independence Day inside the Bataan People’s Center.

The traditional celebration started with the entrance of the Philippine flag carried by enlisted men from the PNP followed by the heads of the different departments of the provincial government, the members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Vice Governor Cris Garcia and Governor Albert S. Garcia, all wearing the traditional Filipiniana costume.

Students from the Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) and Bataan National High School rendered song and dance numbers.

In addition to the inspiring message of the governor, another highlight of the event this morning is the awarding of ISO Certification to the 12 departments (initially) who passed the standards set by the ISO certifying body

ISO 9001 is the internationally recognized standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). It is the most widely used QMS standard in the world, with over 1.1 million certificates issued to organizations in 178 countries.

ISO 9001 provides a framework and set of principles that ensure a common-sense approach to the management of organizations to consistently satisfy customers and other stakeholders. In simple terms, it provides the basis for effective processes and effective people to deliver an effective product or service time after time.
