CATBALOGAN CITY – The Catbalogan Virtual Assistants (CatVA) organization hosted a seminar on Sunday, February 9, 2025, designed to help aspiring digital professionals and virtual freelancers navigate the freelancing industry.
The event, which attracted 250 attendees from various barangays in Catbalogan City and nearby towns, highlighted the city’s ongoing efforts to empower individuals, particularly from Gen Z and Millennial groups, with the skills and knowledge necessary for pursuing online careers.
