To enhance convenience for Victoriasanons, the City hosted the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between Northern Negros Electric Cooperative, Inc. (NONECO) and Electronic Commerce Payments, Inc. (ECPay) at the Victorias City Hall 2nd Floor Lobby, November 4.

Mayor Javier Miguel Benitez expressed strong support for the initiative, highlighting that this collaboration aligns with the City’s commitment to improve services and ease processes for its residents.

He underscored the importance of digital initiatives, such as eBOSS and GCash partnerships, that promote cashless transactions and bring efficiency to daily transactions for Victoriasanons.

Mayor Javi also commended NONECO General Manager Engr. Wilbe Bilbao and his team’s efforts in driving innovative solutions that benefit the community.
