Announcement: YPS Forum on Government Services

Busy busy new year…

There are things that are not taught in school. Things that really matter when you start to embark on your career journey. Many of us would be shy of asking: How is my tax computed? How do I get SSS loans? What is the PAGIBIG for? This is why Young Public Servants (YPS) is conducting a forum on Government Services, so young (and old) peeps would know how to avail of these services that are regularly taxed from our paychecks.
