Manila, Philippines — AGC Power Holdings Corp. (AGC PHC) gathered its teams and subsidiaries for a festive and spirited year-end celebration themed ‘Dancing Together: The Grand Christmas Showdown.’ Held at the Rigodon Ballroom of The Peninsula Manila, the party united the entire AGC PHC and its media and marketing subsidiaries for an evening that honored collaboration, creativity, and the company’s shared achievements over the past year.
