Mark Lucio S. Cortado Jr., City Population Officer of Borongan, participated in the Geological Conference held at Solaire Resort North, Quezon City from December 2 to 4, 2025. His attendance aimed to explore potential scientific research collaborations in promoting the geological heritage of Borongan City to the officials and members of the Geological Society of the Philippines.

The conference included both plenary and breakout sessions, during which Mr. Cortado emphasized the significance of the Biri Rocks Formation in the Municipality of Biri, Northern Samar, recently recognized as the seventh geological wonder of the Philippines.

He expressed appreciation for the researchers and geologists whose commitment was crucial to this achievement. Furthermore, he highlighted the need to extend similar scientific research to Borongan City, which also possesses untapped geological wonders.

The Sangguniang Panglungsod Committee on Tourism, Culture, and the Arts, chaired by SPM Rozene Daza and joined by committee members SPM Katrina Anacta-Sadac, SPM Lyra Gel Limbauan-Devora, and Liga ng mga Barangay President Cheney A. Ibarbia, held a meeting on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at the SP Session Hall. The primary agenda was to deliberate on the proposed ordinance that designates the Borongan Hymn as the official hymn of the City of Borongan, which would mandate the City Government to perform the hymn during flag ceremonies, official events, and other suitable public gatherings.

The committee engaged with several invited resource persons, including Atty. Celestino Cabato, the City Legal Officer; Mark Lucio Cortado, Head of the Cultural Heritage Unit; hymn writer Floro C. Gade Jr.; musical composer Rodolfo Ballena Jr.; and Mr. Jacob Loste, a representative from the City Human Resource Management Office, who provided insights and addressed the committee's inquiries.

This ordinance aims to foster a inspiring patriotism, cultural identity, and unity through a musical piece that embodies the essence of the Borongan Local Government. This song, which debuted at the 2025 City Charter Day Grand Ball, will be played at public events after the Philippine National Anthem if ordinance is enacted. This initiative represents a powerful emblem of local identity and a shared community spirit.
