Mayor Patrick Escalante has transformed Cadiz into a beautiful, sparkling City when he joined with the local government employees to the lantern parade around the City’s major streets on Wednesday, December 8, at 6PM, as part of the yearly “Pamaskwa Sa Cadiznon 2010”.
The Mayor hopes that the first-ever lantern parade can illuminate the entire city as participants who will be bringing the lighted Christmas lanterns with them will march down the streets as a sign of the city’s contribution to the “promotion of unity and peace towards a progressive community”.
“These lanterns will be hung visibly at four corners of the Cadiz City Park and the Children’s Playground”, Mayor said.
Shortly after the parade, the Mayor will also lead the switch-on of lights during the opening program of the “Pamaskwa sa Cadiznon 2010” and the switch-on ceremony for the “Light A Tree Program” at two different sites: the Cadiz City Park and the Children’s Playground.
Simultaneously, the blessing of Grotto at Children’s Playground and the launching of the “Bundle of Joy Box” for the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology was held. The “Bundle of Joy Box” is aimed to collect donations from various concerned individuals. This will culminate on December 21, 9AM, where Mayor Escalante will distribute the collected gifts/ donations to inmates in BJMP Cadiz.
Other lined up activities are “Sing A Christmas Song Contest” on December 10 at 7PM at the Tourism Avenue, fronting the City Hall; nightly presentations, December 12-31, City Hall; switch-on ceremony for the “Christmas Tree Village sa Palengke” and the “Parol Sa Tricycle Terminal Contest”, December 15, 6PM, Cadiz City Public Market; and the skateboarding competition on December 17, at 4PM, City Park.
The “Banda sa New Year”, the first-ever street party on the New Year’s Eve, will be held on December 31, 9PM, at the Tourism Avenue.
The display of lights will run until the celebration of the annual 37th Dinagsa Festival 2011 on January 24-30, 2011. /*
