The Company has grown so fast that it had to transfer to a much bigger site.  In 1991, the newly completed office in San Jose Street, Guadalupe Village, Lanang, Davao City, 8000 Davao del Sur, Philippines became the official address of the Company.  With a bigger area and better facilities, the Company was ready to accept more principals.
