4) Simons Institute of Theology of NTBC Paete, Laguna has started extension classes for their daughter church in Matalatala. This was in response to the desire of many workers in the daughter church for trainings to be held in their place to accommodate those who desire to be trained but could not travel every week to the mother church.
