OUR COVER AND LAYOUT
Sketched and designed by LGA’s in-house artist Iris Igrobay, our inside-
layout and cover serves as a modest representation of our adherence to
simplicity, innovation and excellence. The contents were presented in a
comics-strip-type format that ventures away from the typical step-by-
step and chronologically numbered text-heavy documents, which in most
instances, discourages readers and alike from browsing or even worse
from taking notice. This technique was therefore adopted to encourage
comprehension of the important details encapsulated in the dialogue boxes,
thus aiding the audience and/or reader to note only what are deemed
relevant.
However, this publication does not assume that the comics-strips are stand
alone guide and is better appreciated in such format. Hence, included in
the annexes are the matrices and the forms needed in the completion of
each transaction.
Trivia: The artist based the cartographic sketch of some of the characters
in the comics-strip from members of the LGA family like Ate Mina, Manong
Apen, Manong Gil and many others.
