-BOAC, Marinduque, February 23 (PIA) – Marinduque was filled with music and colors as the province celebrated its 92nd Founding Anniversary last February 21.
+MANILA, Philippines — Montenegro Shipping Lines, Inc. (MSLI) has recently acquired a second-hand roll-on roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessel from South Korea for P86 million under a lease agreement with the DBP Leasing Corp. (DLC).
-People went to the streets waving small flags of different colors during the motorcade of officials and guests in the morning, led by Gov. Carmencita O. Reyes. There was also a grand parade of floats in the afternoon, which depicted the history of Marinduque and its festivals, under the accompaniment of the kalutang (native musical instruments) and magnificent brass bands.
+DLC vice president for leasing and corporate services Ricardo Romero and DLC vice president for shipping operations Ronilo Bacolod turned over the MV Maria Lolita to MSLI after completing the five-year lease contract.
-The island enjoyed its independence when it was separated from Tayabas, Quezon and finally became a province in February 21, 1920. During previous years, the province’s founding anniversary celebrations were not as grand. So it was not surprising to see excited faces of the locals and guests who witnessed the big celebration.
+MV Maria Lolita is one of the four Ro-Ro vessels acquired by MSLI under the DLC lease financing scheme.
-National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) Chairman Felipe De Leon served as the guest of honor, who also judged the best floats.
+The three other second-hand Ro-Ro vessels are MV Maria Natasha which sails between Batangas City and Calapan City; MV Maria Oliva, plying the Roxas, Mindoro-Catiklan, Aklan route and the MV Reina Divina Gracia plying the Lucena City-Balanacan, Marinduque route.
-The event was also highlighted by the unveiling of the new logo of Marinduque, which was designed by Antonio Monteagudo. The new Marinduque tourism song entitled “Sige Marinduque”, composed by Dindo Asuncion was also launched.
+Montenegro Lines, which operates 31 ships, have been serving the Filipinos for almost three decades with four vessels transporting goods from one island to another.
-This year, the province also commemorates two other historical events – the Battle of Pulang Lupa in Torrijos and the Battle of Paye in Boac when Marinduquenos and fellow Filipinos fearlessly fought the Americans and won two battles out of the 5 World Wars Americans have fought. (LBR/MNL/PIA4-B/MARINDUQUE)
+Meanwhile, with the expansion of scope of its leasing activities, DLC has recently approved the lease application for a second-hand container by Meridian Cargo Forwarders, Inc. (MCFI).
+The three-year lease contract has a total project cost of P151 million.
+MV Rachel has a maximum capacity of 256 units of 20-foot containers and would be deployed in the developmental route between Manila and Puerto Princesa in Palawan. (EHL)
