Zumba kicks off Tibungco Walk

THE St. Francis Xavier Parish of Tibungco staged the “MEGA WALK FOR a CAUSE 2015” last June 27. The event is in line with the Parish’s celebration of its 50th Fiesta on Dec 6 this year.

The walk was aimed not only to raise funds for the Parish’s 50th, but also to instill in the participants the sense of wellness and fitness.

Hence, the walk and the Zumba at the beginning of the activity served as the “heater.”

The walk ended with tree planting which emphasized the value of taking care of our environment. One hundred Narra seedlings were donated by the Department of Natural Resources (DENR) while 60 Mahogany were given by the Barangay Council of Ilang.

The culmination of the walk was the blessing of a Learning Center operated by the SMI Sisters in the community, where the Tree Planting was done.

Parish Priest Fr. Ben Capulong was helped by Parish Finance Committee, Parish Pastoral Council, Knights of Columbus Council 7777, Tibungco Brgy Capt, Buddy Calvo and her council, Brgy. Ilang Council & Functionaries, F. Bustamante National High School Teachers & Students, University of Mindanao ITJC, SFX Servant Leaders, Tibungco Zumba Ladies, and the Parishioners of SFX.
