Who
has a heart that cares for the least of her sisters and brothers?
There seems to be no appropriate answer to this question but
one might find an answer while watching Santacruzan 2007.
For
many the Santacruzan is just a simple parade of beautiful
ladies in equally beautiful and elegant gowns. Many, however,
fail to realize that the beautiful sagalas and angels joining
the Santacruzan are also rendering a little sacrifice as they
walk along the main streets of the City of Tagbilaran for
a very noble cause. Some of them might end up with soiled
gowns and blistered feet but the desire to finish the Christian
walk is always there. People are, therefore, encourage to
go out and watch Santacruzan 2007 and see for themselves the
beautiful ladies with big hearts that sympathize the least
of their brethren.
The
activity which is made possible through the Rotary Club of
Tagbilaran is scheduled on the 31st of May 2007. It will not
only showcase the Santacruzan as one of the many beautiful
church and community activities that could remind the people
of Bohol's rich cultural and religious tradition but it also
serves as an avenue for the club to raise funds for its various
undertakings which are mostly aimed at eradicating poverty
in the countryside.

Aside
from the full support of the members of the Rotary Club
of Tagbilaran who are doing the leg works, this year's
Santacruzan is being supported by some benevolent Boholanos
from her and abroad and as such the Santacruzan will
not only feature Boholana beauties but will also feature
International beauties as well.
Rose
Soy, the reigning Reina Emperatriz of Sanctacruzan 2006,
will crown this year's Reina Emperatriz I, Barbara Illi
of Alona Vida Beach Resort Bar and Restaurant Coco Vida
in Panglao, Bohol and Reina Emperatriz II, Miriam Mc
Allaster of Booy, Tagbilaran City.
Chezka

II of Santacruzan 2006 will crown Amira Montero and
Nekolai Montero, both of Alona Tropical Resort, Panglao,
Bohol, who will be this year's Reina Elena I and II.

The
same as last year, Santacruzan 2007 will formally start with
a Holy Mass and flower offerings to the Virgin Mother at the
Saint Joseph's Cathedral. This will be followed by the Procession
of Sagalas and Angels along the main streets of the City of
Tagbilaran. The procession will also be fully represented
by the members of the Rotary Club in their uniforms and the
Village Aide Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
At
7 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the Rotary Club
of Tagbilaran, headed by its President, Rtn. Deo Uy, will
tender a Dinner and Dance Party dubbed as "Fiesta sa
Rotary" at the Sandugo Grand Ballroom of the Bohol Tropics
Resort, this city, to honor this year's Sagalas, Angels and
the benevolent sponsors.
Bohol's
pride, Eva Santos will tender love songs and liven everyone
with dance music.
As a lasting remembrance of this year's Santacruzan, the Rotary
Club of Tagbilaran will come up with a Souvenir Program that
will feature this year's Reina Emperatrizes, Reina Elenas,
Sagalas, Angels and most of all the donors, benefactors and
sponsors. This year's activity is chaired by Rtn. Louella
