THE CREATION OF PALMA+PB Alliance

The establishment of this Alliance gets its

themselves, consolidate, or ordinate their efforts,

beneficial to them. In support to such undertakings,

the LGUs involved may, upon approval by the

Sanggunian concerned after a public hearing

conducted for the purpose, contribute funds, real
