Early Closing
The 2010 WVRAA meet ended one day ahead of schedule. It was expected the games will end on Friday, March 19, but the smooth implementation of schedule of games enabled the early conclusion of the games. The availability of playing games enhanced early conclusion of the meet too.
Congratulations to the DepEd Aklan for the well managed WRAA meet, especially to Mr. Mary Ann Lopez, the overall coordinator of the WVRAA meet. Congratulations to the various WVRAA committees and to all Aklanons.
Aklan is really "Amazing Aklan". Everybody cooperated from the start until its closing. There was no untoward incident recorded as WVRAA related. The opening ceremonies were excellent. It displayed the best of Aklan, its uniqueness, and proved the truth that Aklan’s Sr. Sto. Niño Ati-Atihan Festival is the mother of all festivals in the Philippines.
Except for the delayed tabulation result in the search and coronation of Mr. and Miss Palaro, that Sunday night was marvelous. The songs and dances, the lights and sound are highly the showcase of Aklanons. The events are worth repeating.
2nd Anniversary
The Kapehan Sa Aklan will celebrate its 2nd Anniversary on Saturday evening, March 20. It will be held at Hernani’s Mix ‘n Match Restaurant, Kalibo.
The Kapehan for the last two years, engaged in a no holds barred discussion of events and its analysis, local governance, community project affecting the Aklanons. It has bounded local media entities and the practicing journalists as it is serving to promote camaraderie and understanding among them.
The principal highlight is a tribute for Atty. Ronquillo Conanan Tolentino as a journalist, public servant, lawyer, educator, historian, and political leader. /MP
