'tabo'
revived The
"Tabo Congress" held last May 27 in the public market of Bien Unido
sent off the revival of traditional market day or "tabo" after a hiatus.
Bien
Unido Mayor Niño Rey Boniel led local officials and municipal employees
in holding the event that gathered village heads, stakeholders and visiting entrepreneurs
from neighboring towns together.
Governor
Erico Aumentado, Vice-Governor Julius Caesar Herrera and the three Provincial
Board members from the second district also graced the event.
Highlights
included Jagna Mayor Exuperio Lloren's inspirational message and insights on market
operation based on experience.
| | | The
local government of Bien Unido has envisioned the revival of "tabo"
to showcase the abundant marine products of the coastal and island barangays of
the municipality like the rare species of sea shells, clams and various species
of fish and other fish products.
On
the other hand, vendors of various cash crops, vegetables and spices from neighboring
towns committed to display their products during the market day every Wednesday
as set in a municipal ordinance. | The
launching activity started with a community prayer led by Rev. Fr. Tommy Ugpo,
who was instrumental and supportive in the preparation phase prior to the formal
launching, and was capped with the covenant signing by all stakeholders led by
Boniel himself.
The
covenant aimed at building commitment to make the Tabo sustainable and enduring.
Mayor
Boniel invites everyone to experience the "Tabo sa Bien Unido" where
fresh seafoods matched with varieties of cash crops quantifies a sumptuous meal
treat that's hard to resist. (Diosdado Bazar-HRMO-MPIO) |
