MESSAGE

MABUHAY!

I CONVEY MY SINCEREST GREETINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO

OUR PATRIOTIC BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF
ADAMS, ON THE OCCASION OF GINGINUBAT FESTIVAL ON APRIL 21-23,
2015.

YOUR THEME “KULTURA TAGIBENEN, TURISMO PASANTAKEN” IS

INDEED VERY NOTEWORTHY FOR ITS CONSISTENCY TO OUR ILOCOS
NORTE’S PROGRAM THRUSTS, IN TOURISM AND IN THE PRESERVATION
OF OUR ARTS AND CULTURE AS A PEOPLE IF I MAY SAY SO, YOUR
ANNUAL FESTIVAL WHEREIN THE RICH CULTURAL TRADITIONS OF OUR
INDIGENOUS BRETHREN IN ADAMS ARE SHOWCASED IS A TESTIMONIAL
TO THE WISDOM OF THE LATE PRESIDENT FERDINAND EDRALIN
MARCOS IN CREATING THE MUNICIPALITY OF ADAMS ONLY TO
PRESERVE ITS RICH CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS BUT ALSO TO PROVIDE
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE UPLIFTMENT OF ITS PEOPLE.

THE PEOPLE OF ADAMS WERE WARRIORS THEN AND WARRIORS

STILL, BUT IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES, NO LONGER BEAR ARMS BUT
STILL DO BATTLE WITH THEIR MINDS AND STRENGTH TO MAKE ADAMS A
MUST SEE TOURIST DESTINATION IN THEIR QUEST FOR THEIR GREAT
DESTINY.

LET US THEREFORE DO BATTLE TOGETHER TO PROVIDE BETTER

OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR PEOPLES’ ADVANCEMENT TOWARDS PEACE,
PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY!

“AWAN PARIKUT A DI TAYO MARISUT,

AWAN ANNONGEN A DI TAYO MAIPATUNGPAL,
AWAN ARAPAAP A DI TAYO MARAGPAT,
NU INTAYO AGTITIMPUYOG,
AGSISINNARANAY KEN AGKAKAMMAYET!”

DIOS TI AGNGINA KEN NARAGSAK NGA PANAGRAMBAK!
