'Sashimi Night' to highlight Tuna Fest
By Pops H. Gumana
THE GenSan "Sashimi Night" is expected to one of the biggest crowd drawers when the city celebrates the 7th Tuna Festival next month.
Similar to the night café found in the streets of Malate, Manila or the night café in Davao City, Sashimi Night will also light the streets of General Santos City.
Organizer said "Sashimi Night", a parade of tuna-value added products, will certainly be a "welcome delight" for nocturnal trippers who are out to unwind while savoring the mouth-watering tuna delicacies prepared by food connoisseurs and entrepreneurs.
The City Tourism Council met Wednesday last week to lay down activities for the 7th Tuna fest after leading a successful July business month celebration popularly known as "Yaman Gensan".
City Tourism Council chair Mayor Pedro Acharon Jr. revealed the City Government has earmarked P1.5 million in support of the festivity.
Lawyer Orlando Mirabueno, vice-chairman of the council, also expressed confidence the Tuna Fest would be a success since various activities have been lined up to entertain both the city residents, local and foreign tourists.
"We will see to it that posters and other printing materials which contain the Festival's schedule of activities will be distributed and posted in strategic places like malls, barber shops, parlors, and other places frequented by people so that they would be aware of the celebration," he said.
