DAET, Camarines Norte, March 4 (PIA) -- A group of well-meaning Bicolanos has organized themselves recently to pursue advocacy and initiate programs and projects dedicated in advancing development of cultural heritage of Bicol.
Mayor Tito Sarion of Daet Camarines Norte led the launching of Bicol Advocates for Heritage Enrichment and Development or Bicol AHEAD held recently at the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) in Taguig City.
Several prominent Bicolanos attended the event bonded by their common love for their hometown and commitment to contribute to the development of the region.
The members envision Bicol AHEAD to be the prime mover in making the Bicol region a premiere destination for cultural heritage and development by 2020.
To concretize this, the group sets out the following goals: promote heritage culture and arts; create innovative programs that will develop Bicol; encourage people to support Bicol AHEAD; organize partnership with tri-media and social media; conduct capability and measure competitiveness; strengthen standard procedures, and network; and build partnership with other Bicol organizations.
To create an immediate impact, the group lined up initial activities of Bicol AHEAD, among others: premiere night of the Ibong Adarna movie helmed by Jun “Mr. Shooli” Urbano, a noted Bicolano director, to be held at Daet, Camarines Norte; and a publication of Bicol history coffee table book to be undertaken by Prof. Danilo Gerona, author of several books in Bicol history.
Another one is organizing of events that promote Bicolano culture and arts, such as Bicol Food Festival, Bicol Essay Writing Contest and Bicol Photo-Essay contest. It will also partner with academic institutions in conducting research on Bicol heritage and in monitoring the results of licensure examination for teachers to gauge the quality and competitiveness of education in the Bicol region.
The group plans to register Bicol AHEAD as a federation at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Its founding members are: Mayor Tito Sarte Sarion as Founding Chairman, Atty. Sannah Frivaldo, Atty. James Jacob, Atty. Taikee Calleja, Paolo Teves and Rene Fernandez as board of trustees with Paul John Bancosta as Executive Director and Kim Blasa as Secretary General.
