The Municipal Culture and Tourism Affairs Council (MCTAC) - Sta. Cruz, Laguna
>> Sunday, September 26, 2010
Last night, I had the privilege to attend the induction and oath-taking of the new set of officers of the Sta. Cruz, Laguna Municipal Culture and Tourism Council (MCTAC). The event was held at the Camp Allen Training and Development Center, Bgy. Patimbao, Sta. Cruz, Laguna.
The event started at 7:00 in the evening with a short prayer by the council's auditor, Mrs. Azucena Gacias. It was then followed by a message of greetings by the president, Mr. Benito Copoc, and another message of greetings by their honorary Vice-Chairman, Councilor Laarni A. Malibiran and Honorary Vice-Chairman, Councilor Ramon Tan.
After the messages, the new set of officers of the MCTAC were introduced by the Sta. Cruz, Laguna Tourism Officer, Ma. Lourdes A. Bituin and was immediately followed by the oath-taking ceremony headed by Sta. Cruz, Laguna Vice Mayor Louie Cambel De Leon.
After the oath-taking ceremony, there was a surprise number by the No Kru dancers. No Kru dancers is one of the monthly finalists at the famous talent search program at ABS-CBN, "Showtime." They are one of those two finalists that came from Sta. Cruz, Laguna.
Right after the number, dinner was served. The delicious dinner was made of various local viands. Ginisang toge (sauted bean sprouts), pata tim (a Filipino-Chinese delicacy), grilled chicken and pork sinigang. Fruit salad served as dessert.
After dinner, Sta. Cruz, Laguna Mayor Dennis Panganiban delivered his message to the organization. He spoke about how he looks forward to the assistance of the private sector in the promotion and development of tourism in the town. He hopes to boost tourism in the town by introducing projects in the next coming months. One of the most promising project which will bring tourist and travelers in town is the upcoming ferry service that cuts across the Laguna de Bay from Sta. Cruz, Laguna to Pasig, Metro Manila.
After the event, most of the guests went home excited and hopeful.
