The Dinner doubled as a fund-raiser for the still unfinished Centennial Pastoral Center. And surely they came in droves. The TTMIST Socio-Cultural Center was filled with up parishioners who shared something in common, their love for Msgr. Palma.
Various groups gave presentations. Songs were performed by the Light of Jesus Community, the Community of God's Servants, BUGTO Association, and the Calbayog Medics Musicale.
Folk dances were perfomed by the Ladies and the City Arts and Culture Office personnel.
