        The program formally opened with a speech by our City Mayor, Hon. Jesse M. Robredo who has always been supportive to Junior Chamber International. The joint event also highlighted the induction of new members and Board Members as JCI Philippines Immediate Past President Glenn Santos, and National Vice President for Bicol JCI Mem. Donaldo Gumabao initiated the joint induction of both chapters. It was then followed by the induction of 2008 LOM President of JCI Naga JCI Mem. Alexis Fante and JCI Naga Cariñosa, JCI Mem.
