COTABATO CITY, Philippines  – Suspending momentarily their respective endeavors, Filipinos watched anew Sunday the live telecast of their legendary hero Manny Pacquiao fighting Mexican challenger Juan Manuel Marquez in an event to once again put the nation in complete peace.

Over here, all streets virtually turned empty as commuters and vehicle drivers either stayed at home to watch in their television sets the spectacular event, but majority of them trooped to two venues where the live fight was shown show free: the city plaza and the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Center (SKCC) of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
COTABATO CITY, Philippines – Workers of the Department of Social Welfare and Development in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DSWD-ARMM) provided supplemental feeding to 60 day-care children from the province of Maguindanao on Wednesday as their contribution to the current celebration of the weeklong 22nd ARMM foundation anniversary celebration.


Hundreds went to the city government-sponsored free show at the city plaza, while more than 5,000 swarmed inside and outside the huge SKCC theatrical edifice where Acting ARMM Gov. Ansaruddin Adiong also provided free snacks for the viewers.
The children, aged three to five years old, came all the way from the Calsada Day-Care Center in Bulalo, Sultan Kudarat town to the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Center inside the 22-hectare ARMM Compound here where DSWD social workers fed them individually with nutrient foods that their parents could not provide due to financial constraints.


ARMM Executive Secretary Naguib Sinarimbo, whom Adiong tasked to lead for the third time the “libreng palabas” with free snacks for Pacquiao’s fight, expressed elation over the massive influx of viewers in a “very peaceful and smooth” convergence.
On their way back home, each of the 60 kids brought a cup of hot porridge and a party bag containing nutrient snacks and foods, social worker Umaya Salik said.


“Everybody in ARMM including Acting Regional Governor Adiong is equally amused with the big turnout and smooth proceedings in our third sponsorship of free live telecast for our national boxing hero, Manny Pacquiao,” Sinarimbo told reporters, who covered and watched the event.
The children were accompanied by their guardians in their travel back and forth for the festive supplemental feeding activity, Salik added.


The sponsored live telecast with free snacks kicked off the weeklong celebration of the ARMM’s 22nd founding anniversary, which would formally commence with a parade Monday morning at the 22-hectare regional government compound.
Wednesday’s event was the latest episode in the series of the DSWD-ARMM’s continuous supplemental feeding activities that have already served some 48,000 day-care children, according to ARMM Social Welfare acting Secretary Pombaen Karon-Kader.


The fully air-conditioned SKCC building has a sitting capacity of 870 and was installed with a giant screen for overhead projector, but over 2,500 spectators barged in while more than 3,000 others stayed at the lobby of the edifice where a smaller screen was also installed.
Meanwhile, performers from Sulu bagged the top prize of a cultural ensemble contest of the ongoing celebration of ARMM’s founding anniversary, replicating their dominance over four other cultural ensembles in previous competitions.


ARMM security contingents put up a single gate for the event to prevent the entry of bladed weapons, firearms or other harmful objects at the SKCC complex, following a reported blast at the city plaza, venue of the city government-sponsored free telecast, Saturday night.
The contest, dubbed “2011 Cultural Festival for Peace and Unity,” was held Wednesday night at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Center under the auspices of the autonomous government’s Bureau of Cultural Heritage (BCH).


Before the free live showing of the Pacquiao-Marquez match and its undercard fights, viewers would be shown a video documentation of the highlights of the trailblazing accomplishments of the Adiong administration in 20 months, Sinarimbo said. (Ali G. Macabalang)
The Sulu ensemble won anew for its best rendition that aptly portrayed the diverse and vibrant culture of the ARMM populace, in a replication of its victory last year, said lawyer Ashrafia Aimee Biruar-Mitmug, BCH executive director.
 
Biruar said this year’s competition received more plaudits for its meaningful emphasis on the campaign for peace and unity of the present administration of ARMM acing Governor Ansaruddin Alonto Adiong.
 
The theme, she said, is also augurs the scope of the forthcoming celebration of the Mindanao Week of Peace this month.
 
In the competition, the Sulu contingent was closely followed by Maguindanao that placed second, Tawi-Tawi at third, Lanao del Sur at fourth, and Basilan placing fifth.
 
Biruar thanked the various ARMM line agencies for contributing to the success of the cultural festival.
 
The ARMM’s line agencies were divided into five groups to assist their assigned teams among the five contesting ensembles, in what was described as a “simulated unity in diversity” for the weeklong celebration of the ARMM’s 22nd founding anniversary that started Monday and culminates this Saturday.
