Participants from Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, and Srilanka numbering 39 arrived today for the opening ceremony scheduled at 4:00 PM in the 13th Asia-Pacific Youth Conference.
Transported in a tourist bus owned by the city government, the participants were greeted by a band and a motorcade from Labangan junction to the City Hall.
