FROM JEROME, CIELO AND MYSELF AND THE FAMILIES OF PAPA REP-MAMA WINCIE ARAOARAO OF PANGLAO AND TAGBILARAN CITY AND MOMMY LAURA GABIN OF SIQUIJOR, SIQUIJOR, OUR HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GOOD FRIEND SIR FRANCISCO 'FRANK OR ONDO' MONTERO, WHO WILL MAKE HIS PLEDGE TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF PANGLAO AS MUNICIPAL COUNCILOR ON SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 2007 AT ALONA TROPICALE RESORT, TAWALA, PANGLAO, BOHOL.
SIR ONDO, AS MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATOR OF PANGLAO, TOGETHER WITH HIS DYNAMIC AND VERY GENEROUS WIFE MA'AM NILA, COUNCILOR AND CHAIR OF THE SANGGUNIANG BAYAN COMMITTEE OF PANGLAO, WAS THE MAJOR FORCE BEHIND ANNA MARIS ARCAY IGPIT WHEN SHE JOINED HER FIRST BEAUTY PAGEANT, THE MISS BOHOL SANDUGO 2003, WHEN SHE ENDED FIRST RUNNER-UP; WHEN MARIS FINALLY GOT THE MISS BOHOL SANDUGO CROWN IN JULY 2005, THEN THE BINIBINING PILIPINAS-WORLD 2006 HONOR IN FEBRUARY 2006 WHICH USHERED THE WAY TO HER JOINING THE MISS WORLD PAGEANT IN WARSAW, POLAND IN SEPTEMBER 2006.
NOT ONLY THAT: SIR ONDO AND MA'AM NILA TOOK THE CUDGELS IN PREPARING THE PANGLAO CONTINGENT FOR THE SANDUGO STREETDANCING FESTIVAL WHICH FOR MANY YEARS HAD BEEN THE CONSISTENT FIRST PLACER IN THE SANDUGO STREETDANCINGCOMPETITIONS UNTIL IT BECAME A HALL OF FAMER.
CAME THE TIME THAT PANGLAO CONTINGENT FIRST JOINED THE FAMED SINULOG FESTIVAL IN CEBU CITY IN JANUARY 2006 AND LANDED IN 4TH PLACE, OUT OF THE HUNDRED CONTINGENTS IN THE FREE INTERPRETATION CATEGORY. IN THEIR SECOND TIME IN THE SINULOG STREETDANCING LAST JANUARY 2007, THEY GRABBED 3RD PLACE FROM AMONG THE EQUALLY WELL-SYNCHRONIZED AND COLORFUL ENTRIES FROM LUZON, VISAYAS AND MINDANAO.
I HAD MY ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE GRACIOUS COUPLE IN THE EARLY PART OF 2000 WHEN CIELO WAS STILL A NURSERY PUPIL AT THE DML MONTESSORI SCHOOL AND I WAS PRESIDENT OF FEDERATED PARENTS-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION OF THE INSTITUTION.
MA'AM NILA AND SIR ONDO, AS HALF-PANGLAOANON, I SALUTE YOU AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO MAKE PANGLAO WHAT IT IS NOW...I JUST HOPE THE PEOPLE OF PANGLAO WILL REALIZE THAT...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!MAY YOUR TRIBE INCREASE!!! REGARDS TO DAUGHTERS NEKOLAI AND AYA...
