CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Jan. 14 (PNA) – The visit of Miss Universe 2016 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach would boost the tourism industry in this seaport capital of Northern Mindanao, a lawmaker said Thursday.
Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, of Cagayan De Oro City, made the statement after the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc., (BPCI) has approved the trip of Ms. Wurtzbach to visit here on Jan. 29.
He said that about 300 journalists from around the world would be accompanying Pia Wurtzbach, the third Filipino to win the coveted Miss Universe Crown since its inception in 1952.
Rodriguez said that the BPCI management has generously scheduled the visit as “CDO Homecoming” so Pia could feel the love and pride of her fellow Kagay-anons.
The lawmaker appealed to set aside politics during the visit and suggested that the local government officials (LGUs) meet Wurtzbach at the Laguindingan Airport in Misamis Oriental.
From the airport, the hosting officials would bring Wurtzbach to the San Agustin Cathedral for “Te Deum Mass” prior to a motorcade around the city, Rodriguez said.
He said that the LGUs would prepare a program for her at the sprawling Pelaez Sports Center to be witnessed by thousands of Kagay-anons.
Rodriguez said that the LGUs would then tender a sumptuous lunch to honor Wurtzbach and finally, give her a memorable send-off at the airport.
The visit of Wurtzbach would be timely to also showcase the Kagay-anon hospitality and show the whole world that Cagayan de Oro is a peaceful, friendly, clean and a highly developed urban center.
Rodriguez said that the city is a host to a remarkable tourism destinations such as the white water rafting, the Mapawa Nature Park, Malasag Eco-Village, Gaston Park and the historical water tank, the San Agustin Cathedral, the City Hall and the historic Plaza Divisoria.
He said that the excitement over Ms. Wurtzbach scheduled visit here is now building up.
