Once again, Dumaguete City is making noise… announcing her excitement and joy for the Fiesta Celebration on November 25, 2008… a very special day offered for our Patron Saint, St. Catherine de Alejandria.
This year is very special as it is the 60th Charter Anniversary of Dumaguete City. And how else can Dumagueteños show their gratitude than dance in SANDUROT way! Yes, Sandurot is a festival showcasing the rich history and culture of Dumaguete through street dancing. This year’s theme will give emphasis on Sta. Cataline de Alexandria Festival as the main concept will be the portrayal of the life and legend of the city’s patron saint. So, it will surely be a must-see showdown!

The children were entertained with games for children. After the games, the children were given delicious and lots of vitamins porridge or “lugaw” from Scoobys through Rotarian and City Councilor Manuel Chiquiting Sagarbarria, pan de sal from Angel Buns Bakeshoppe through Rotarian Raul Villanueva and fresh papaya fruits from the farm of Ting Matiao Foundation, Inc.
Ochavillo said that the Children’s Fun Day is one of the public service activities of the Rotary Club of Dumaguete South.
The Children’s Fun Day was supported also by the members of the Interact group of the Dumaguete Science High School led by Rotarian Neri who made some guides in cleaning up the beach in which the playground of Brgy. Calindagan is beside the sea.
The Children’s Fun Day was successful with the support of Rotarian and Brgy. Calindagan Captain Antonio Carino, Day Care teachers, Brgy. Officials and spouses of Rotarians.
