As August 2019 officially ended, I chose sixteen (16) memorable moments that highlighted my month-long mayhem that perfectly fits the 16th Manaragat Festival of Catbalogan City: - Full-packed calendar; - Karasa ha Plaza Concessionnaires who were cooperative and confirming; - Local Culture and Arts Council (LCAC) who supported our activities; - Birthday Bashes (Blendz, Dennis, Jovic, Angel, and Joel) on their major milestones; - Nightly View of the Plaza; - Our Team Tourism’s Courtesy Call with City Mayor Dexter Uy, thank you Mayor; - Our 2018 Mister and Miss Manaragat (Leslie and Jaztin) who we will surely miss; - Cultural Presentations of the ten (10) elementary districts and eleven (11) secondary/college schools anchored on Fishing Gears Theme; - Our Mutya han Samar 2019 and Miss Millennial Samar 2019 who we are truly proud; - The nine (9) Miss Manaragat: The Search for Miss Catbalogan City candidates and this year’s winners who we are excited to pursue the advocacies; - The nine (9) Mister Manaragat: The Search for Mister Catbalogan City candidates and this year’s winners who we have great things in store; - My 5th streetparty in-a-row since; - Fiesta Day and Feast Day of Señor San Bartolome; - My first Philippine Cultural Education Program Training held in Ormoc City; - The Philippine Travel Mart that I missed but successfully attended by Joyjoy Eroban and Leo Felices; and - Lights and sounds booth who have witnessed our shouts, rants and friendship. Two things that I learned in this year’s month-long, are that (1) we can only control so much and how we react to things is important; and (2) no matter how hard we try to make things better, people will always have something to say. So strive to be consistent and correct in everything, and surround yourself with people who trusts you, believes in you, and who will stick with you all the way. More years to come, bring it on! #teamtourism #manaragatfestival #catbalogancity #derechouswagcatbalogan #missmanaragat #mistermanaragat #captivatingcatbalogan #august2019 #monthlong2019 #mutyahansamar2019 #missmillennialsamar2019 #karasahaplaza #katawhankadagatan #culturalpresentation #instaofis #instadays (at City Tourism, Culture, Arts & Information Office) https://www.instagram.com/p/B13llEoBa8i/?igshid=js9kje6bj3oc
