After the open forum, an intermission number was done by the Naga City Branch employees. They had incorporated a role play of a person intoxicated by his bad habits, taking a toll on his life, and making him feel several diseases. The actor then goes to ask the advice of Dr. Paragas and promises to change his lifestyle. Subsequently, a sing and dance number for the WATERDOK was performed.
A formal introduction for the next key speaker followed. Mr. Bruce Anderson, the CEO of Mineral Resources International (MRI), gave an insightful speech on how Dr. Paragas and Dr. Opalla had welcomed him over the years of their anniversary, reminiscing experiences in the Philippines and with every leader of VER1REV Enterprise, and how their partnership continues to strengthen. At the end of his speech, he presented a Plaque of Appreciation to IMRPC and VER1REV Enterprise. In exchange, Dr. Paragas and Dr. Opalla also presented virtually a Plaque of Recognition to Mr. Anderson.
Three testimonials were also live for the event. One was diabetic and hypertensive for 10 years; one had tuberculous pneumonia and the other had stage 4 colon cancer that had spread to the liver and lungs.
