WITH IMMENSE PRIDE AND PROFOUND GRATITUDE, WE EXTEND OUR HEARTFELT THANKS!
The recent LGBT Pride March and the historic inaugural 2nd District of Ilocos Sur Invitational LGBT Volleyball Tournament have concluded as a resounding and historic success—a vibrant testament to the unity, talent, and indomitable spirit of our rainbow community.
Our deepest appreciation goes out to all the participating municipalities, whose players, coaches, and supporters shared not only their time and exceptional athleticism but also their profound passion for inclusivity and sportsmanship. You were the heart of this celebration.
We are equally indebted to the steadfast leadership of the Candon City Officials. Our sincerest gratitude to City Mayor Eric D. Singson , Vice Mayor Atty. Kristelle Singson, SPM Eric Owen Singson, Jr., SPM Lerisa M. Llanes, SPM Nestor Itchon , and SKFP Jan Rhey B. Gacula for their unwavering support and for standing in solidarity with us throughout the festivities.
A special note of thanks is also due to PBM Ericson Singson for gracing the event with his presence and for his generous sponsorship.
We likewise extend our profound appreciation to Hannam Prime, through Ms. Freda Singson and former Mayor Allen Singson, for providing the essential vitamins and sports drinks that sustained our athletes; to Señora Leonard Rodriguez and CCGEMPC for the refreshments that fortified our Technical Working Group.
To the entire roster of our essential partners—the Technical Working Group, Management Team, MIS, PNP-Candon, PSTMD, CHO, CDRRMO, CGSO, CIO, DZTP, LYDO, and all our dedicated service providers. Your collective efforts were instrumental in bringing this vision to life.
To the LGBT Pride of Candon City, under the dynamic and inspiring leadership of Mr. Jun Eric Peralta Villalobos, we offer our heartfelt congratulations. You have shown us the true power of community.
This triumphant event is a clear reminder that the City of Candon—our City of Love and Care—does not simply acknowledge the rainbow community during a single month.
We embrace, empower, and celebrate the beautiful diversity of our LGBTQIA+ brothers and sisters every single day, for it is this very diversity that enriches our city and strengthens the fabric of our shared humanity.
