Good day maam/sir!
This is Gizelle Alvarez, an MBA student at University of Rizal System - Binangonan Campus. I am currently writing thesis about Resort Businesses in Laguna.

May I request for any legal basis or any document for considering LAGUNA AS THE RESORT PROVINCE OF THE PHILIPPINES? A scanned copy or a picture of the document will do.

Thank you very much in advance and stay safe!
