Metro Manila's Carigara Fiesta Celebration

And for the Metro Manila fiesta celebration, we have this report from Mr. Jaime Darantinao:

Carigaranons in Manila trooped to the air conditioned gym of the Amoranto Sports Complex in Roxas District, Quezon City, to participate in the celebration of Carigara's Town Fiesta last July 16. As in the past year, Fr. Gerry de los Reyes officiated the early evening mass, assisted by Fr. Raul Buen.

Dinner, which could pass for a wedding feast in elegance, was served just as about 500 stomachs started getting hungry. Dancing, occasionally intenupted by the announcement of raffle winners, lasted up to past midnight. Highlights of the Rock-Yahan Fiesta were the well applauded and finance supported kuratsa numbers which contributed P66,500.00 to the HCCC Scholarship fund.

The dancing pair of Nick Crisostomo & Connie Quidlat, both of HCA Class 1965, conttibuted around P56, OOO.OO; Gayoc Clemente & Perla de los Reyes, and Fel Lagrama & Tessing Hanopol contributed their share.

Fiesta activities took off last July 7’th the first of the 9-day Novena Masses celebrated at Sta Rita Chapel in Quiapo, Fr. Gerry officiating all throughout.

The Hermanos Mayores, the Heirs of Julian and Juanita Clemente, represented by Samson & Hilda Clemente, thanked the Kalgaranons in Manila, specially the Novena Sponsors, for their support in making the fiesta a success.

The Holy Cross College of Carigara Alumni Association in Manila, tasked coordinates the yearly affair, announced that next year's Principal Sponsor are Amy Lodero Ambustan family and some of the officers of HCCCAA-Manila.
