OMF On-Site Management underwent a seminar on December 2008. After the seminar, members of OMF On-site were inducted by none other than the mayor of Oas, the HON. Greg Ricarte. At this event, the mayor "promised" that he will work with the Sanguniang Bayan/council to approve a P500,000 package for use by OMF. The seminar was followed by a little salo-salo compliments of Chad Que, Louella Lapsley and Mel Romano.
