It was a night filled with fun and laughters for young and old alike.
It seems like all roads led to the municipal plaza for the night with the Stars brought for the Miagaowanons by the Garin Family. It was a night filled with fun and laughters for young and old alike.
In his message though, Mayor Garin reminded everyone to “never forget the true essence of Christmas.”
“Pareho kang belen, tulad nga Pakswa bisan kulang ang regalo mo, bisan indi pa manami ang bayo mo basta imaw mo lang ang pamilya mo that is already Christmas. Ang dya nga Paskwa sa Banwa gin design para indi ninyo malipatan nga may Misa de Gallo. Ang presence mo tulad manami pero mas ma kompleto pa guid kon ma attend ikaw kang Misa de Gallo,” Mayor Garin said.
