SURIGAO CITY - For
the third time in a row, the port community led by Philippine Ports Authority
snatched the top prize in this year’s Float Parade Competition during Surigao
City’s 43rd Charter Day celebration on August 31.
PPA’s
entry was a crowd-drawer where people pose for picture-taking as they were
amazed of it’s design and rendition of the “Bayanihan Spirit” as depicted by
‘representatives’ of national and local agencies behind the backdrop of City
Hall’s replica.
During
its final presentation when the PPA float was approaching the City Hall’s
frontage area where local officials were seated, City Mayor Ernesto Matugas
suddenly made a standing ovation and a loud applause which was followed suit by
city officials, employees, policemen and the cheering crowd.
For
its feat, PPA-Surigao’s entry bagged the top prize followed by DepEd Surigao
City Division and SMWD for the second and third prizes, respectively.
Representatives
of the port community included Port Manager Isidro Bustaslac, Jr., PPSupt
Foilan Caturla, Teresita Maquiling, Engr. Carmelito Abitona, Engr. Allan Yap, Engr.
Jun Bayang, Leo Ebuña, Isidric Labastida, Noli Nusog and the engineering
outsourced personnel of PPA, Director Emmanuel Carpio of MARINA, CDR Zenmond Duque of Phil. Coast
Guard, LCDR Primitivo Novo of Phil. Navy, Collector Oswaldo Geli of Bureau of
Customs and Henry Garcia of PCBSI. (Surigao Today)
