The event is true reflection of the community’s strength and unity, city officials, led by Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo, said as they rallied for the continued progress and unity of Dumaguete.
Aside from the awarding ceremony, the People’s Week also featured an agri-booth fair and an intersectoral sports festival that showcased the talent, innovation, and collaboration of Dumagueteños across various sectors, the Local Youth Development Office said in a press release.
