Roxas City... I Love The Place and The People...

We have just completed our 5-day stay in Roxas City. It was actually our third time to be there doing our IMG Mission of spreading the gospel of Financial Literacy. We are so fortunate to be there this time to experience their "Sadsaran sa Halaran" which is A Street Dance Festivities as an offering to Mama Mary (Immaculate Conception). We are also so happy to meet up with a new set of families, couples, and people from young to old (24 Years old to 74 years old). Young entrepreneurs, Mayors, Vice Governors, and ordinary folks. Varied people with different status, dreams and goals in life.

It was hot and humid most of the time which supplements the warmth of the people of Roxas City. At times drizzling and in early morning rain pours generously which highlight to me the generosity of the town folks specially our host Kuya Rudy and Bebeb (Beth).

I did enjoy the street parade of young boys and girls from the different schools of the City. They all danced their merry way on one singular tune but with varying choreography for each of the schools. I enjoyed too the sumptuous meals we had at the plaza in front of the Immaculate Conception Church and the Provincial Capitol's Office. There are so much choices of food and drinks mostly authentic to the place.

The whole festivities run for five days from the time we arrive which culminated in the Feast of Immaculate Conception. We truly enjoyed it... the people and place... I love Roxas City....
