Benitez cited the battle cry of the President “Bangon muli Pilipinas” as the same battle cry for Bacolod City “Bacolod bangon muli,” where the MassKara Festival this year uses the catchphrase “Balik Yuhum” or bring back the smile.
“Together with this administration, together with your leadership Mr. President, we can now be assured that moving forward Bacolod will be in greater heights,” Benitez added.
Meanwhile, MassKara 2022 Festival Director lawyer Pinky Mirano-Ocampo thanked Bacolodnons for showing their warm hospitality and for giving the Bacolod Yuhum Foundation Inc., the organizer of the festival, the chance to handle this year's festival.
“The turn-out of people in our events this past 23 days is overwhelming. I am elated with the show of support of the Bacolodnons. Salamat gid sa inyo tanan,” Mirano-Ocampo added. *(JBG/EAD-PIA6 Negros Occidental)
