ABOUT PAVVURULUN FESTIVAL OF TUGUEGARAO CITY
THE PAV-VURULUN Pav-vurulun means oneness or a sense of belongingness. It is in this context that Tuguegarao City annually celebrates its patronal fiesta. The week-long celebration is dubbed as a festival of activities. The true Pav-vurulun spirit is not easy to attain. Cultural differences, as well as differing political affiliations and social orientations make for the difficulty in cooking up a sense of unity. Engineering the Pav-vurulun spirit requires genius and a lot of sweat. But Tuguegarao City succeeds where others fail. A young man - Randy - has led over three terms of sanity and a working democracy in this northeastern center of excellence. A professed “transparency” executive, Mayor Randy S. Ting has amassed awards from various sectors for exemplary governance. His work ethic inspires people to set aside their differences ] and work together notwithstanding the discomfort. The Pav-vurulun spirit is alive and well in Tuguegarao City. For as long as Mayor Randy is around. |
