I am pleased to share the  Buena Mano Q3-2009 Green Tag Greater Metro Manila Area (GMMA) catalogues of bank acquired assets for sale. Actually I got a copy of the Green Tag catalogues a few weeks ago but as you already know by now, our house got totally submerged during Typhoon Ondoy’s visit and it ruined just about everything inside it including the Buena Mano Q3-2009 Green Tag listing.
