The President stated that, “Now that the school has electricity, they can have computers and all the students can access the internet and become a part of this modern world of science and technology. I am sure this will be of great benefit to the entire community. I congratulate Petaquilla for what they are doing. I urge them to continue to expand, to continue helping the community. I have seen this company develop responsible mining as well as a great social, environmental and labour responsibility program and for this reason I am here today to offer my support to this company which has become the number one exporter of the Republic of Panama.”
