Also, my congratulations to our Hermanos, the YULO BROTHERS, for bringing this kind of spirit into the celebration of the Feast of St. Bartholomew Lastly, may we be reminded of the power of faith - in the Lord and in ourselves. These are what saw us through every trial which made our successes even sweeter and even more significant.
PAGKAURUSA KITA!
MAUPAY NGA PATRON HA TANAN NGA CATBALOGANON!
Hon. Coefredo "TEKWA" T. Uy
My family and I extend our warmest greetings to all Catbaloganons in celebrating the Feast of St. Bartholomew. Although just as special as the previous ones, there is an added meaning to this year's fiesta celebrations because it takes place on our first year of cityhood.
Having reached this stage despite the many trials of establishing a newfound city, gives us an opportunity to thank the Lord for all the guidance and blessings that he has given us through his emissary, St. Bartholomew. More than just a time for celebration, we should also use this occasion as a time for reflection on the things we've been through and how it changed us for the better.
