Unexpected Journey to Logistic Companies
An Unexpected Journey in SUBIC Bay Freeport Zone
Have you watched the movie “Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey”, this is a hit movie of 2012 where a hobbit had an unexpected visitor from Gandalf and he was forced to join to a group of dwarves to conquer the old Castle of the Dwarves. It is like the same story that our instructor and a Licensed Customs Broker, Ms. Joyce Ann Valdez, led as to experience, in one of the most challenging subjects in the study of Customs Administration.

A day which we thought to be an exciting day for us since Ms. Valdez is coming and we can hear again some new knowledge and extra-ordinary stories which is related to customs subject.
