Saint Augustine Parish of Gigaquit spearheaded by Rev. Fr. Jun A. Balberia, DCS together with the Parish Youth Formation Team launched the first ever Halloween Disco and Party ’07 on the eve of All Souls Day.



Before the party started, Michael Jackson’s “GHOST” video was presented that left the audience in trembling and shocking mood. Extreme dancers and the Sajao Gigad dancers of GNSHI showcased their dancing prowess that bedazzled the audience.



Another highlight of the party was the scary Halloween costume contest in which eight contestants showcased their scariest projection that fits to their costume. Artemio Galgo Jr. the representative from San Isidro Chapel was adjudged as first place winner and brought home the prize at stake which was sponsored by Hon. Mayor Carlos M. Egay, Sr. & Dr. Elvira Egay and family.

Personalities like Board Member Atty. Carlos A. Egay, Jr. together with his beloved wife and Dr. Elvira A Egay graced the affair. Everyone enjoyed the party and danced ‘till they dropped. The disco ended at 2:30 dawn.

Gigaquit Parish & Youth Formation Team Set Off to Camiguin Island
By: Jojo M. Patosa



Sixteen formators headed by Rev. Fr. Jun A. Balberia, DCS went to Camiguin Island on October 12-13, 2007 for spiritual strengthening, retreat and excursion.

The island retreat was conceived after giving successive Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC) Revitalization and Youth Orientation Seminars to the different Chapels that belonged to Gigaquit Parish.

Upon arrival at TIAS Beach Resort in Mambajao which was their haven for the two day excursion, they immediately proceeded to an ex SVD priest, Hon. Jam Baclayo which offered them basketful of very sweet lanzones.

After the enriching spiritual talk, sharing and insights given by Hon. Jam Baclayo, the team immediately proceeded to the different beautiful spots that Camiguin Island had to offer. The team roamed the entire island. Sunken Cemetery, Ardent Hot Spring, Mt. Hibok-hibok and Katibawasan Falls were some of the spots that they’ve gone into.

The two day retreat and excursion was indeed a very enriching experience.
