Chairman  Ambeth R. Ocampo, of the National Historical Institute lauded yesterday the effective church-and-state relations of parish vicars and the municipal government headed by Mayor Leoncio Evasco, Jr.

The Inquirer columnist  was the main speaker during the unveiling of the historical marker and  declaration of the Punta Cruz Watchtower  as a  National Landmark at the Punta Cruz Watchtower Complex, Punta Cruz, this town.

Dr. Ocampo was introduced by Gardy Labad.

“The joint efforts of church authorities and the local government unit resulted to this successful launching of this project,” the NHI top brass stressed.

Earlier, Bishop Leonardo Medroso expressed the Church’s gratitude for this laudable project. The diocesan head accepted earlier  the historical marker of the Sta. Cruz Parish Church, also known as the San Vicente Ferrer Shrine Church after the eucharistic celebration presided over by Fr. Efren Dolauta, Fr. Johnson Ente and Fr. Oriel Echavia.

Jesuit Fr. Rene Javellana  of the Society of Jesus explained to the audience the historical significance of the Pnta Cuz Watchtower while  Executive Director Cecille Guidote Alvarez expressed her appreciation of the place which she have often heard before but “it’s only now  have I personally seen and felt the beauty of this historical tourist spot.”

Alvarez represented Chair Wilma Labrador of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.
Mayor Evasco welcomed guests and audience in behalf of the municipality while Punta Cruz punong barangay Faustino de la Cerna welcomed them in behalf of his barangay.

Later, Evasco read Sangguniang Bayan Resolutions expressing thanks and appreciation to Ocampo and Adopting Labad as a Maribojocanon.

The now nationally famous Punta Cruz Cultural Collective, under the tutelage of the then musical director Labad entertained the audience with their l5-minute presentation Tawag sa Lantawan which earned kudos at their Intramuros performance recently. (fcf) - Bohol Chronicle

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
