NTA Pangasinan inaugurated the staff house of its office in Poblacion Zone 1, Villasis, Pangasinan, coinciding the belated celebration of the agency's 32nd Anniversary by the Branch Office, on August 8.

Administrator Robert L. Seares, assisted by Branch Manager Engr. Cesario G. Sambrana and Directors Nestor C. Casela, Teofilo R. Quintal, Wilfredo C. Martinez, Wilson R. Victorio, and Danilo C. Trongco, led the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the building.

A few hours after the ribbon cutting, thanksgiving mass officiated by Rev. Fr. Farley Castro and benediction of the staff and the old office, a program for the anniversary celebration was held.

This was attended by the senior NTA officials, Mayor Jojo Callejo of Alcala and Mayor Nonato Abrenica of Villasis, managers of the different branch offices and other officers, farmer leaders, and representatives of the tobacco companies.

NTA Pangasinan has moved from Rosales town to its old office in Villasis. "I am glad that after 19 years in Rosales office, we are back to our original home, just in time of our 32nd anniversary," Manager Sambrana said.

The Rosales office is now used as District 2 office of the Branch, and as stock rooms for office files and some farm inputs.

The staff house has men's and ladies' dorms, an executive room and pantry.
