Rev. Rudy Escobar officiated at the blessing of a newly-renovated three-storey Jegabytes Computer Center recently in Bacolod City.

The day kicked off with a motorcade of 50 vehicles in the major thoroughfares of the City of Smiles, with colorful banners, balloons, streamers and live music provided by drumbeaters.

Manuel Dy and Lyndon Caña assisted Julius Esmeralda in cutting the ceremonial ribbon, followed by the blessing of the entire area.

It is the fourth Jegabytes computer center, since the business began eleven years ago at Libertad Street. The others are located at Robinsons Mall six years later, VSB Mall, and at corner Hernaez-Araneta streets.*
