On Tuesday, the Capitol held a multi-sectoral meeting at the Social Hall as part of their preparation for the upcoming Pasigarbo.
There, Garcia announced that they stood by with their decision to have the ‘festival of festivals’ at the CCSC amid suspended Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama questioning the move.
“Naay naguol? Aw wala (Somebody is sad? No) ,” she told the audience which was composed of mayors from all participating contingents, representatives from the Cebu City Government, law enforcers, and representatives from private firms helping out the event.
“Central man gud ang Abellana grounds to all of our towns and cities and we are so glad nga nahuman na ang mga trabaho didto,” Garcia added.
(The Abellana grounds are central to all of our towns and citites and we are glad that the work there are already done.)
With the participation of performers from St. Petersburg, the total number of contingents for this year’s Pasigarbo – as guest performers or contestants – is at 52.
The Pasigarbo is one of the highlights during the month-long celebration of the founding anniversary of Cebu province.
