Countless nostalgic photos of different people, events, and structures from Samal Island's bygone days are on display and evaluated by Mr. Bernie Parong of Samal Island City College and NBI-Samal Officer-in-Charge, Ms. Ligaya Banawan, during the Significant Oldest Photo Contest earlier today, May 27, 2022, at the New City Hall Lobby.
Among the 23 entries, Entry No. 33 by Ms. Jasmine Billones wins the People Category, Entry No. 37 by Joahnna Chua dominates in the Events Category, and Entry No. 43 by Maria Ellen H. Layar triumphs in the Structure Category, and will take home PHP5000 each.
The other 25 chosen entries will be given a consolation prize amounting to PHP1000 each.
Joining the celebration of the Summer Saya sa Isla 2022, this event facilitated by the Community Affairs Division of the City Mayor's Office visualizes differences between the city's past and present, significantly telling us that history will remain history but will never be forgotten.
