He said, “What a long but fruitful day (with the following activities): Meeting with the Local School Board in the morning, Local Health Board meeting in the afternoon and then LGU Night! Thank you Lord for the rain during the day and a wonderful weather tonight. Successful kaajo ang tanang activities. Salamat Baclayon National High School led by Dr. LV Iyog Jabonillo, sa pag show sa injohang mga talents sa LGU Night. Bisan pa man ug laylay na ang bukton sa paggunit sa baratohon nga Samsung celfone para lang maka live, worth it jud. Salamat sa taga PNP Baclayon sa paghatag ug seguridad ug kalinaw sa tanan nga naa sa Baluarte. Salamat sa daghan kaajong manan-away. First day of the 9-day novena ug nightly activities para sa kapistahan sa Immaculate Conception of Mother Mary! God bless us all! God bless Baclayon.” Contributed photo
