TAGBILARAN City’s business sector continues to thrive with the recent opening of three new establishments that contribute to the city’s growing landscape of commercial and service enterprises.
City Mayor Jane Yap, city officials and business stakeholders gathered to witness the blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new Petron Gasoline Station in Barangay Mansasa, the blessing of the newly constructed St. Peter Chapels & Crematorium in Barangay Taloto, and the Rocky Vitor Hair and Make Up Studio at F. Torralba St. on May 28, 2025.
The opening of Petron Mansasa provides an additional fuel service hub for motorists, improving accessibility, convenience, and economic activity along one of Tagbilaran’s major thoroughfares.
Meanwhile, the establishment of St. Peter Chapels and Crematorium offers modern chapel services and cremation options, providing Tagbilaranons with an accessible place to honor loved ones while the Rocky Vitor Hair and Make Up Studio offers beauty hair styling, professional make up artistry and personalized beauty services.
These developments underscore the city’s well-earned recognitions, including being awarded as the 2023 Most Business-Friendly City (Component City Category) by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI).
Tagbilaran was also named a Hall of Fame Awardee, an honor conferred after winning the prestigious title three times in the past five years.
The City also earned a commendation from the Anti-Red Tape Authority for establishing a fully digitalized and streamlined electronic Business One-Stop Shop which provides convenience for business transactions in the city.
The City Government of Tagbilaran, under the leadership of Mayor Yap, continues to fully support the expansion of local businesses and investment opportunities throughout the city. These developments align with the city’s sustained efforts to create a dynamic, resilient, and business-friendly environment.
