The month-long Sandugo celebration reaches fever pitch today with the annual street dancing starting from the Island City Mall area down to the J.A. Clarin then to CPG Avenue before winding up at the CPG Sports Complex.

The street dancing serves as the climax of the Sandugo festivities starting with the Charter Day celebration of Tagbilaran on July 1. Indeed, today is the d-day of the Sandugo.

Unfortunately, since its inception, we have not seen the pomp and pageantry of the street dancing. For the nth time, we shall anchor DYRD-DYZD's live coverage of the street dancing starting at 9 o'clock this morning until the end of the Sandugo re-enactment that would culminates the major event.

Last night, the city government hosted a very successful tribute to the Boholanos abroad who participated the Tigum Bol-anon Tibook Kalibutan (TBTK) through the "Bol-Anong Timbaya, Gabii sa Wara-Wara ug Gara-Gara" at the atrium of the new city hall.

Also last night, AJ Banal's boxing career for ten rounds started through the boxing event dubbed as "Sugdan sa Tagbilaran".

Tonight, the Miss TBTK Internatonal Pagenat Night will be held at the HNU gym.

SP UPDATES. The 9th Sangguniang Panlungsod of Tagbilaran passed last Wednesday Proposed Resolution No. 25-06 confirming the appointment of Atty. Doni D. Piquero as the new city attorney (city legal officer).

We had the privilege of sponsoring the proposed resolution as vice-chairman of the committee on personnel and reorganization although City Councilor Edie Borja strongly endorsed the approval of the resolution which did not meet any objection from the city lawmakers and was passed en masse.

Doni is the coordinating lawyer of the Environmental Legal Assistance Center (ELAC) in Bohol and is chairman of the Bohol Alliance of Non-Government Organizations (BANGON). He is a faculty member of the Holy Name University College of Law and also teachers political science and philosophy subjects in the College of Arts and Sciences.

INBOX. There is some sort of tranquility in our inbox last week save for an e-mail from one Jojo Taduran of Toronto, Canada who wrote about the exploits of a 73-year old Filipino who is still active in the workforce there.

We also got this forwarded e-mail from a concerned resident of Corella Bohol using the nom de guerre Hugo Ambrosio Tubigbahandi about the in-fighting among the politicians there.

Our gmail and hotmail e-mail inboxes are relatively quite this week. And we thank God for that. Amen.
