by J. Tilos
Dumaguete City (29 June 2005) -- As early this week, Buglasan 2005 activities have been lined up, including the 'longest or largest motorcycle parade' as an entrant for the Guiness World Record.
Negros Oriental has more than 29,000 motorcycles registered with the Land Transportation Office last year, of which the highest horde come from Dumaguete. These include big bikes, DTs and so called 'Econopower' which is the most popular.
In preparation for the forthcoming Buglasan festivals this year, the organizers agreed to include the motorcycle parade not only to establish Dumaguete's title as 'Motorcycle Capital of the Philippines' where motorcycles of all types and sizes abound but also to put Dumaguete in the map and land a spot in the Guiness Book of World Records.
Owner-driven motorcycles in the province are encouraged to participate and register their motorcycles at the Provincial Tourism Office.
The participant will be given a flaglet to be attached to the motorcycle, issued in sequence, which serves as the event's official souvenir. The entry forms and numbers may be allocated by bulk to schools, offices, clubs or individuals among others.
Awards and special prizes await participants, drawn by raffle or as the oldest, youngest, heaviest driver, biggest and most colorful groups.
Of the 51 activities calendared for the week-long Buglasan festival celebration on October 12 to 23, 2005, ten events are added for this year which include: motorcycle parade, inter-LGU cheerdance and band competition, kayaking, dance-sport, skin boarding, Tayada, skate boarding, high school basketball tournament, and the launching of the one-stop-shop center for the province.
