Viva Senor San Francisco............a yearly remembering

Another year is getting to a close and together we Palomponganons will always remember the past year with the help of our "manlalaban" Senor San Francisco. The past, many says have been terrible especially to those who have been affected by natural calamities including the two typhoons ("Ondoy and Peping") that hit Metro Manila with so much power and fury that almost drowned the whole of the metropolis for several weeks.

But we will not touch the negative things that happened to our countrymen because it was covered thoroughly by tri-media both local and foreign. We will be talking about what happened this past few days here in our local town of Palompon.

After the initial salvo on November 23, 2009 where a parade and motorcade was participated in by enthusiastic parishioners, to signal the start of the nine day novena in honor of the town's patron saint, the miraculous St. Francis Xavier, a nightly affair is being held to unwind and relax from the days hectic schedule and activities.

As usual the evening entertainment sponsored by various associations, NGO's, LGU's, Civic and  Religious take turns in sharing their best to offer the populace, whether its drama, disco or whatever.

December 2nd is the peak night of the various nightly offerings that can be offered by well meaning sponsors and concerned citizens. Mutya ng Palompon is a highly anticipated night were beauties from different organizations are presented after a series of tryouts and eliminations before they are finally shown to the public on the big night called "Mutya ng Palompon" night.

On the same day (Dec. 2) the highlight of all parades, where all participants in the daily activities are again invited to show their wares on the last day or wind-up of performances in honor of the revered Saint.
