LAGAWE, Ifugao, July 6 (PIA) - - The governor of
Marinduque wants to build a partnership with the provincial government of
Ifugao in the campaign to preserve the rich culture of the
two provinces in the face of modernity and development.
Governor Carmencita Reyes and her team visited
the province recently and was apparently impressed with how the
province preserved its culture.
“Marinduque will learn many things from Ifugao and of
course, Ifugao will also get to experience Marinduque’s culture,” Reyes said.
Provincial Administrator Evelyn Dunuan and executive
assistant Jovencio Dipia-o assured that the proposal of partnership will be
delivered to Ifugao Governor Denis Habawel for proper action.
Reyes’ party visited the province for a cultural tour. The
provincial government of Ifugao entertained the visitors with a cultural
musical ensemble performed by the Boliwong cultural group wherein Reyes lauded
the province in its dedication to preserve and sustain its rich culture.
“We’ve been going around the Cordillera in search of
something like this but it is here in Ifugao where we found this genuine, still
intact culture. This is also what we want in Marinduque,” Reyes said. (JDP/MBL-
