The last of the sports
activities last night, was the Dart Tournament at the
pool side of ZNCEC. These sports events mirror the
active and vibrant administration of Gov. Yebes that
had truly received massive support not only from
employees of the provincial government but also with
the general public who had been so hyped up and
supportive with all of the activities set for the
week-long celebration of ZN 53rd
