Tuesday, August 19, 2008 Espina: One Cebu, our pride By Mila C. Espina In my diary
THE “One Cebu” exhibits held on Aug. 8-15 were the highlights of the grand 439th anniversary celebration of the Province of Cebu. It proved once again that Cebuanos from all walks of life, regardless of political or religious roots, can pool their time and resources together to demonstrate their genuine pride in and respect for Cebuano heritage and culture. Mabuhi! Ang atong garbo (our pride).
We congratulate Gov. Gwen Garcia and her formidable team for crafting synergized events at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) to display the best of our furniture, food, fashion, festivals, accessories, resorts and restaurants, airlines and arts, beautifully spread out in the lobby and second floors. It was a chance for our small and medium enterprises to display their craft and earn.
The photos on this page show the glorious events which preceded and followed the much awaited One Cebu, Our Destiny.
Hats off to the Cebuano!
In my next article, I will feature the huge participation of the schools and universities from Aug.8-15. We thank Commission on Higher Educatin (Ched 7) Director Dr. Enrique Grecia for responding promptly to our request to expand the learning experiences of the students.
