Tabuk City is preparing for a major celebration of its 75th founding anniversary, which will coincide with the Matagoan Festival in June.

Several local government offices and partner agencies are collaborating to ensure the week-long event is fully prepared and organized.

Arlene Odiem, the head of the Office of the City Tourism and Cultural Affairs, presided over the meeting and stated that this year’s festivities should be grander, with some activities carried over from past years and others improved.

Odiem has invited all concerned offices to submit their proposed activities, as well as their budgetary requirements, so that they can be reviewed and finalized at future meetings.

The festival’s logo and the jingle will be based on last year’s winning design and composition.

The foundation day will be held on June 16, followed by Agri-Vet Coop PESO Day on June 17, and Barangay and Cultural Day on June 18.
