Gigaquit
August 26, 2009

“Isa ka Relihiyosong Timaan, Isa ka Halandumong Kasinatian” (The further we go toward God, the better realization that only in Him alone we find true consolation).

The above is the theme for the 159th Annual Patronal Fiesta an event which always have religious dimensions. Such religious activity is one way of overviewing and reflecting on Gods Love through our Patron St. Augustine ... a sign of commemorating the good deeds of our Almighty through His great love to us.

Rev. Fr. Jhun Baleberia, DCS. The driving force of the event.

Last August 26, 2009, a novena mass was done as a traditional fellowship lined in the first of the activities, followed by the” Kainan ng Bayan” exclusively for the neighboring barrios living in rural area. This was partly a way of expressing gratitude from all the graces and blessings showered upon the Parish. The highlight of the event is the” Mutya ng Parokya 2009” participated by the 22 lovely ladies from different chapels in town. Like what other beauty searches did, it is basically a money matter activity. Whoever collects the highest amount will be proclaimed and given the title as the “1st Muyta ng Parokya”.

The one who had the winning appearance came from Brgy. Mahanub of Birhen del Rosario Chapel, she was Ms. Cris Ann Papeleras Tapia as the newest Mutya in the history of the parish, followed by the 1st Princess Ms. Maria Rosario Canda from Alambique of San Vicente Ferrer Chapel.

First Mutya ng Parokya Miss Cris Ann

Some invited guests came from the Diocese of Surigao, Sr. Benilda Avelino the Indigenous Peoples Apostolate Coordinator of SSpS, who clothed the cape of responsibility to the Mutya assisted by the Bec Coordinator Mr. Alex Natad of Mahanub. The entrusting of scepter was given to Dr. Elvira A. Egay Ph.D as well as President of Parish Formation Team, who also gave inspirational message to fellow Gigaquitnon.

The crowning of Mutya was done by Ms. Grace Roa Gonzales, a balikbayan, assisted by Rev. Fr. Ernesto Virgen DCS. The pinning of sashes and giving of bouquets was also done by the parents of the candidates and some CPC officials.

Mrs. Grace Roa Gonzales crowned the Mutya ng Parokya 2009 assisted by Fr. Virgen, then delivered a speech being the guest speaker for the evening.

Through the coordination of different organizations and parties who contributed efforts behind the activity, a “Pa Raffle sa Parokya” was done featuring various appliance showcase and others. The distribution of tickets in every chapter was done thoroughly. Responsible selected officials took lead the contribution process. The lucky 1st prize winner came from Brgy. Mahanub.

LGU Basketball Exhibition Game Fiesta 2007

Originally posted at gigaquitonline.com around November 2007

GIGAQUIT, SURIGAO DEL NORTE (AUGUST 27, 2007)
 

The gaiety was maximized by an exhibition game of LGU Gigaquit versus LGU Del Carmen of the same province with Del Carmen young Mayor Constantino Navarro IV himself playing on their side. Mayor Bully as he is known among close friends is the son of former Cong. Baby Navarro and grandson of the late political kingpin Oguing Navaro.

 The oldies, some with their “healthy” bouncing bellies played so hard that made the crowd stuck to their respective seats and watched the very enjoyable game. Towards the end of the 3rd quarter, the spectators can’t help but laugh upon looking at the players who almost dropped their tongues out and gasping for breath due to lack of practice. This made the spectators burst laughing. Gigaquit had a big lead in the 1st half but as the game came into close, Del Carmen rallied and won.

Closely played, the tournament did foster sportsmanship and friendship as well as enliven the fiesta celebration of Gigaquit.
