Sidlak Iligan City!

Iliganon ka?  Bring home a friend.

Even if you are not -- you are still welcome to bring a friend.  We  would love to see you witness and enjoy the colorful Diyande Festival with us.  September is the thanksgiving month in honor  of Iligan Saint Patron, St. Michael  This year's fiesta slogan is SIDLAK ILIGAN.


Personally, the slogan speaks so much being an Iliganon.  Sidlak means SHINE so I feel that it is now a high time for Iliganons to shine.  I know they've been shining in the past years, but this year is going to be different.   This year will be a much brighter shine for the city.    This is also going be a different year for me.  I was born in this City of Many Waterfalls but I can say that I am a stranger to my own hometown.  My family have our permanent residence here but in my 39 years, I had 6 or 7 residences during my schooling years and working years in other places.  I came back in 2005 without a thought that I would permanently stay.  But beginning last year, I started to think I am staying for good.  In the 6 years that i've stayed and worked in Iligan City, there was not a fiesta time that I went out to the city to see the festive scenes for peace and safety reasons.  But that did not discouarage me to continue living in this place.


Thanks to Iligan Bloggers Society, they are giving me the opportunity to know more about my hometown.  And thanks in advance to them too for this might be the first year that I will enjoy the fiesta month weekends.  This is the first weekend, and earlier this evening, we were at the Rizal Park for the launching of the Project Angel Tree and after a quick dinner, we had to rush to the Ultra for the CineMo VIP Screening.  Details of these activities will be posted in my main blog. I will be posting it after this post.


This call BRING HOME A FRIEND also calls for me.  I'll bring myself home to my own home. lol!


Even before SeptemBER started, the was already the complete list of activities related to the Diyandi Festival.  You may check out this link - SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES so that you will have an idea which weekend u should come to witness the programs.

Lake Apo: The Plan and the Visit

Image
The first time I saw Lake Apo in the Facebook account of the owner, Dr. Almer Alfonso, I said to myself, I am going there.  So I clicked Like on the photo and then later ask Dr. Almer how to get there.  Summer was over and first semester started and I still can't put into my schedule a trip to Bukidnon.  I desired to see the place alone.  But then thinking it would be more fun to have company, I tagged the photo to my fellow Iligan blogger, Pinay Travelista .  I am betting she got a mole on her foot thus her travel blog.   Indeed she agreed to make me realize my wish without a second thought.  We thought we could make it last August during the last weekend where Iligan enjoyed a long weekend.   But Dr. Almer was on vacation in the US.  September made us really busy for the planning of the coming MBS5 so the plan was put aside to an unknown schedule. Before September ended, I know I am going to make the plan a reality.  I shared the plan with fellow Iligan bloggers and invited ever...
