Happy Birthday Calbayog!



Calbayog City will celebrate her 62nd birthday today. Mayor Reynaldo Uy and the City Officials will lead the various activities slated for the celebration which will have Congressman Mel Senen Sarmiento as the guest of honor.

The official events actually started last Wednesday, October 13, 2010 with the annual Search for Miss Anyag. Last Thursday, October 14, 2010, Mayor Uy, Vice Mayor Ronald Aquino and the city officials joined the members of the Calbayog PD-Cab Drivers’ Association during their annual PD Cab Drivers’ Day celebration.

Yesterday’s events included the Charter Day Parade and the Ismayling, Siday & Kuratsa (ISK) Competitions.

Today’s events will include a Thanksgiving Mass at the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral. It will be followed by a Flag-Raising ceremony in front of the City Hall, afterwhich Mayor Uy will deliver his Charter Day message.

Two flagship projects of the Tri-District (3-D) Development Program of the City of Calbayog will be launched after the flag-ceremony. These are the Aguit-itan Development Project in Barangay Aguit-itan and the Calbayog City Hospital at Sitio Talahib in Barangay Trinidad.

A Program will also be held at the Calbayog LGU-SOS Family Training Center (CLSFTC), this is the former CKC-Herman Gmeiner Elementary School Campus in Barangay Dagum. A Memorandum of Agreement between the City of Calbayog and SOS Calbayog will be signed by Mayor Uy and Congressman Sarmiento (in his capacity as SOS Calbayog President) to formally put in place the CLFTC which will cater to out-of-school youth, unemployed men and women. It will serve as a venue for trainings for small engine repairs, baking, welding, horticulture, hairdressing, sewing, cosmetology and other TESDA-accredited courses.

The day’s other highlight is the Inauguration of the spanking Calbayog Cultural & Convention Center (CCCC). The inauguration program will include the messages of Congressman Mel Senen Sarmiento, Mayor Reynaldo Uy and Vice Mayor Ronaldo Aquino. Also on hand is the performance of “Pag-Ilawod”, a musicale on Calbayog History. The performance will include the city officials as part of the cast. After Dinner the City will give out SP Resolutions and Plaques of Commendation to special awardees. The employees’ night and awarding of LGU Olympics winners will cap the event.

This year’s celebration is anchored on the theme: “Determinasyon: Dalan ngadto san Dayun nga Kauswagan”
