Iligan City, Philippines – Excitement fills the environs of Iligan with the official launching of this year’s Diyandi Festival on September 4, 2015.
Acting City Mayor Ruderic C. Marzo met the press at the Sangguniang Panlungsod session hall, along with the members of the Iligan City Fiesta Executive Management Board, to announce activities lined-up, after which a motorcade followed, to broadcast to everyone the start of the month-long revelry.
The motorcade enroute to the Rizal Park for an opening salvo of the city’s fiesta celebration in September, honoring Iligan’s Patron Saint Michael, the Archangel.
In his message, Marzo said the success of Diyandi Festival (just like the festivals in other cities) is commonly gauged on its “kabibo” or gaiety. This is why I made my instruction to the Executive Management Board in three words: “Pabibohon Ang Iligan.”
“Pagpabibo” includes the holding of crowd-fascinating socio-cultural activities, sports competitions and special events in parallel with Iligan tri-people’s distinctive devotion to our Patron Saint Michael.
Peace and order is also a priority of the celebration, said Marzo. - From iligan.gov.ph
