Basaynon Katig-uban of USA & Canada

My Fellow Basaynons & Guests,

Being the newly elected Municipal Mayor of your beloved hometown, Basey, my family and the People of Basey join me in conveying my warmest greetings to the officers and members of the BASAYNON KATIG-UBAN USA-CANADA, as you turn another leaf of the annals of the historical 9-year old unified civic and religious organization of Basaynon Katig-uban USA & Canada.

I would like to congratulate Mr. Amado Gad for being the Hermano Mayor to host the Fiesta celebration on August 13-15, 2004 to be held in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.

As you celebrate this fiesta in a foreign adopted motherland, during this sentimental get-together among Basaynon Expatriates, every one will undeniably RECALL the past with your loved ones left behind, definitely REJOICE for the present blessings God has bestowed and expectedly RENEW your continued commitment of assistance and concern for the beautification and restoration of our church, the symbol of our long cherished devotion to our Patron Saint.

It is a gesture of appreciation for this remarkable achievement of coming up with a unified religious celebration despite distance and intricacies of living in these two powerful secular nations.

As I am about to chart the destiny of our beloved Basey under my new administration, your cohesive support and undying concern for Basey will serve as our inspiration and motivation for UNITY of all Basaynons. Let this be a testimonial occasion for establishing a living and purposeful bonding relationship between BK USA-Canada and LGU-Basey and its home community for unified endeavor purportedly geared toward the development and progress of Basey.

Maupay ngan Malipayon nga Patron ha iyo ngatanan.

ENGR. VICENTE C. LABUAC, JR.
